People displaced by an East Cleveland apartment fire say they’re frustrated not knowing if or when they’ll be able to return home.
About 120 people were evacuated from the Terrace Towers apartment complex Monday evening after what investigators believe was an electrical fire ignited and filled many hallways of the highrise building with smoke.“The whole generator area is on fire where the trash chute is at and we start seeing smoke in the hallways on our floor,” Alice Garner recalled.
Tay explained most residents evacuated the building with nothing more than the clothes they were wearing. A spokesperson explained the Red Cross, Salvation Army and Animal Protective League are working on reuniting pets with their owners, but shelters where some residents are staying can’t allow animals. The groups have been contemplating creating an outdoor shelter for the pets, but worry about the impact of holiday fireworks on their stress levels.
The facility hosts day camps and activities after the holiday, and Watch explained it may be a challenge to accommodate the residents longer term. “We’ve been done wrong for so many years. And it’s only right that something gets done about that, whether they shut that building down or not,” Tay said.
