MASURY, Ohio — Emergency crews responded to a nursing home in Trumbull County on Monday after reports of smoke and a possible explosion led to the evacuation of dozens of residents.
According to the Brookfield Fire Department, firefighters were dispatched around 4:20 p.m. to Addison Healthcare Center in Masury after receiving reports of smoke inside the facility, activated sprinkler systems, and concerns about a possible incident involving an oxygen storage area.
Upon arrival, crews located a small fire that was contained to a single room. Fire officials said the building’s sprinkler system successfully prevented the fire from spreading to other areas of the facility.
Authorities later determined that oxygen was not involved in the incident despite initial concerns.
As a precaution, approximately 80 residents and staff members were evacuated while firefighters investigated and ensured the building was safe.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire has not been released.
