Elderly housing bomb scare

Friday Feb. 9, 2008

Waterford - An elderly housing complex had to be evacuated today due to a bomb threat. I am not sure what type of sick and twisted individual would do such a thing, but I hand it to the emergency personnel who handled the evacuation of 60 plus residents with dignity. I was not on duty, but once again, was working the night desk. I was sent to the scene as they were re-loading the busses to take the residents back to the facility after it was cleared. Not bad when I have to work the desk shift and still get front page.

This was a fire department utility truck loaded up with walkers and wheelchairs.
