Deadly fire ravages assisted living facility in NYC suburb
CBSN
Spring Valley, New York — At least one person was killed when a massive fire broke out at an assisted living facility overnight in Rockland County, north of New York City, CBS New York reports. Fire officials say one resident died at the hospital and two firefighters were injured.
Officials believe everyone is accounted for. Calls to 911 came in around 1:30 a.m. from Evergreen Court Home for Adults in Spring Valley.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
