YOUNGSTOWN

The 134 residents – 76 men and 58 women and children – at the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley at 962 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. were evacuated from the facility at 9:45 p.m. Wednesday when a fire alarm was set off by steam in a shower on the fourth floor, said David Mungai, men’s client advisor.

Mungai said the residents, some in their pajamas, were outside in the frigid weather for about 10 minutes. He said two firetrucks from Youngstown Fire Department arrived quickly to make sure everything was okay.
