Nursing Home/Senior Living, Residential Manchester, TN – Fire in apartment building for seniors and disabled contained by sprinkler system, quick action of resident December 30, 2014 viking210 A fire in the fifth floor common room of Kingwood Arms Apartments in Manchester Thursday prompted a Christmas evacuation, according to the Manchester Fire Department. Though the fire did activate the building’s sprinkler system, containing the fire, fifth floor residents say that the sprinkler system got a little help early on from resident Tiffany Woodson. Kingwood Arms is a government subsidized apartment building that provides affordable housing for low-income seniors and the disabled. In the end, only two residents – including Berry — were displaced by the fire, and both were able to return to their apartments the following day.
