Investigators are working to determine the exact cause of a fire at a nursing home and rehabilitation facility in Rockland, Massachusetts, that forced 102 residents to be evacuated Saturday afternoon.
The fire broke out at about 4 p.m. at the Webster Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center at 56 Webster St. Rockland Fire Chief Scott Duffey said the facility will need to be closed for some time because of smoke and water damage.
Although the exact cause hasn't been determined, but fire investigators are looking at an accidental electrical event in the ceiling of a third-floor bathroom, possibly related to a ceiling fan, according to the Massachusetts Fire Marshal's office.
The first firefighters to arrive found the flames were being held in check by the automatic sprinkler system. Stil
