W. Pa. senior home drenched by sprinkler mishap
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) - More than 90 residents of a western Pennsylvania assisted-living center are waiting for it to dry out enough so they can go home.
The residents of the Golden Living Center near Johnstown had to be evacuated when the home’s sprinkler system malfunctioned about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. Officials say a water line to the sprinklers broke at the facility in Richland Township. Various parts of the home had water on the floor from three inches to one foot deep.
The residents are being cared for by the home’s staff while they stay at some area hospitals.
The state Department of Health and other agencies must determine that the building is dry enough before residents can return.
It’s not immediately clear how soon that will happen.
