A fire tore through a senior living facility in Clinton, Hinds County, Mississippi, on Wednesday evening, October 21. According to The Associated Press, Clinton Mayor Will Purdie said on Thursday, October 22, that two people were killed in the fire; local station WAPT likewise reported two deaths. GSM previously reported that officials said Wednesday night there were no confirmed casualties while crews searched into the night to account for every resident; Thursday's confirmation makes the blaze a fatal fire.
The fire broke out around 5 p.m. on October 21 at Brookdale Clinton, on Northside Drive, a facility home to more than 100 residents. Much of the building was destroyed and the roof partially collapsed. Clinton Fire Chief Levius Buckley said firefighters rescued several residents through windows, and evacuated residents were bused to a nearby church to reunite with family members. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves said the state health department, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and multiple fire departments assisted with the response and the search.
As of Thursday, officials had not released the identities of the two people killed, any injury count, or the cause of the fire. The city has said Brookdale is arranging for displaced residents to move to sister properties. (GSM, based on reporting by The Associated Press)
