LACEY – A prolonged power outage that occurred over the weekend has affected a local assisted living facility in Lacey Township, police said.
First responders arrived at the Spring Oak Assisted Living Facility at 601 Route 9 North, Lanoka Harbor on Sunday during the outage, which was still out of power.
According to police, JCPL was made aware and was on scene attempting to remedy the situation.
Police also notified the Lacey Township Office of Emergency Management, who were helping on scene. The Lanoka Harbor Fire Department, Ocean County Sherriff’s Department, and Ocean County EMS Task force were all on scene providing assistance.
“Residents of the home remain in place, and there is no mandatory evacuation in place at this time. Some residents have been picked up by family members,” Captain Paul Sullivan Jr. told media while the situation was underway.
Cooling measures were implemented at the facility due to the high temperatures, police said.
Lacey Police later provided an update Sunday afternoon that the power was restored and operations at the facility have returned back to normal.
