Of the 50 total people displaced, JFRD, EPD, JTA and the American Red Cross helped bus 24 people and two pets to the Legends Center overnight who had no resources whatsoever.
“Crews got called, people said the building was moving, they heard bricks falling,” Captain Eric Prosswimmer with JFRD said. “We bussed almost 25 people last night and two pets to the Legends Center and put them up for the night.”
