Assistance Available for Cooper Apartments Residents
On June 23, a fire broke out at The Cooper Apartments on Rosedale. We're relieved to report that all residents were evacuated and only one non-life-threatening injury occurred. However, we understand that several of our employees reside at this complex. Many may have been displaced and are in urgent need of assistance, having had to evacuate quickly without time to gather belongings. A fund has been launched for residents displaced by the fire.
