She was then transported to Providence Hospital where she is currently stable and doing well according to Peggy House, General Manager of the Powell Valley facility. Many residents of the 120-person facility were evacuated, while others were sheltered in place. One resident incurred minor injuries when he fell during the evacuation. He was treated on the scene and hospitalization was not required. There was water damage to five units on the second floor and to two units on the first floor.
Investigators say the cause of the fire was likely a short in a lamp cord.
Investigators also note that early detection of the fire and activation of the sprinkler system was crucial in mitigating potential loss of life and damage to the building.
