Dear Community Members,
We are writing to inform you about a serious incident that occurred at our agency offices in Liverpool. On February 11, a serious fire broke out at our office building located at 290 Elwood Davis Road. The fire was detected at approximately 7:45 pm, and emergency services were promptly notified.
