He said the building was boarded up.
“Crews did a really good job gaining a quick entry, getting the fire under control really quickly,” Kilgannon said. “Two patients were found in the abandoned structure, and they were treated by EMS and transported to hospital.”
He couldn’t say where the fire started. That is under investigation.
