An accidental fire at Meadowlark was quickly controlled by the Manhattan Fire Department over the weekend.
Firefighters were dispatched Saturday afternoon to the retirement community for a report of a fire alarm with a smell of smoke. An investigation determined the smoke was coming from a dryer fire in the basement. The fire was controlled by the building’s sprinkler system and crews finished extinguishing the fire.
Loss was estimated at approximately $12,000 in total to the structure and contents. No injuries were reported.
The cause was listed as accidental due to overheating of material in the dryer.
