Saline firefighters responded to a concerning call at EHM early Tuesday morning. Around 2:20 a.m., police and fire were dispatched to the Russell Street complex for reports of smoke in one of the wings. Upon arrival, firefighters found the smell of smoke in one hallway. Staff at EHM were moving residents to other halls.
Saline firefighters inspected the roof and found a bad air-handling unit. No residents were displaced and maintenance began working on the air handler.
No damage was caused.
This did not have to happen. In past shutdowns, when we had experienced and knowledgeable people in government positions who actually cared about the American people, advance plans were made to ensure funding for this (and other key programs) was in place before the shutdown.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 51 and low of 37 degrees. Sunny during the morning, overcast for the afternoon, cloudy during the evening, clear overnight.
