Apartment Bldg. Goes up in flames





A 2-alarm fire destroyed an apartment building in the William Henry Apartment complex on King Road in East Whiteland Township, Tuesday night. No one was injured in the blaze which left dozens homeless. The apartment complex is home to a large amount of Immaculata University students, since the school is across the street.

One of the students had to have started that fire - it was only a matter of time ...

I am a student at Immaculata and I find your comment to be extremely offensive. Please keep comments like that to yourself. Thank you.
Actually, the apartment that the fire started in was/is not occupied by Immaculata students!

There were students in that building who did lose their apartment, and so many families lost their homes. I think it is truly inspiring how the Immaculata University community opened its doors and hearts to the 60 people who were made homeless. With the help of the American Red Cross, the Great Hall was made a temporary relief shelter. Within an hour after the word broke out of the blaze, there were enough blankets, pillows, clothes, food, and water donated to serve those who needed them. If there is something definite to say about us as Immaculata students, staff, and faculty, it is that we do what we can to serve others. Peace!
