SUBMITTED NEWS RELEASE
At the request of the security guard and several tenants of the ACE Motor Lodge, the Northern Nevada Chapter, American Red Cross responded today to a power outage which impacted all the residents of this residential motel.
The Red Cross volunteer team arrived at the scene shortly after noon to determine the needs of the families who were impacted by the power outage which occurred at approximately 5AM today. The Red Cross has provided all residents with services which will meet their immediate disaster needs.
