The fire was reported just after 6 p.m. at the facility at 1125 E. Leonard St. All 48 residents were safely evacuated but had to take temporary shelter at a county senior citizens center for part of the night. On Friday, Brunswick County Emergency Services director Scott Garner said residents were able to return to the building after a few hours. “We got them all back in after midnight,” he said. The fire was contained to a laundry room, but sprinkler systems caused water damage in a residential wing. “There was enough empty beds in the B, C and D wings that they were able to relocate the patients,” Garner said. “They’re all back, no injuries, and everybody worked together well.”
