Washington Nursing Home Fire

Looks like it started over an hour ago. I started getting WMBD emails, Initially it sounded like elevators weren't working and residents couldn't get out. (Not supposed to use elevators in a fire anyway). From the article;
According to WMBD crews who are at the scene, crews were spraying water on a three-story building that appears to be Chapters Living of Washington."

There are photographs attached to the article.

It sounds like people did get out safe and sound. Multiple fire departments are on the scene.

This morning Washington FD had a second large fire. This time on school street right behind the Casey's. Apartment building with flames thru the roof.

@kraziebill : Serious question, is there a point at which they might suspect a serial arsonist? Social media says this one had an entrapment.

@mypeez :
I don't think the 2 are any way related other than both being in Washington. Sounds like this morning's was an ebike battery exploding.

Now Peoria on the other hand....they have an arson problem, but refuses to admit it. I'm actually working in my free time to investigate the fire and hope to prove my hunch.
