RETIREMENT HOME FIRE FORCES 20 TO FLEE

A small electrical fire at a retirement home Wednesday morning forced the brief evacuation of 20 residents, officials said.

The fire at Beth Sholom Sands on Auburn Drive caused little damage, but smoke from the blaze seeped into the building's atrium, a Fire Department spokesman said.

After the smoke cleared, the residents were allowed inside. KEYWORDS: FIRE
