Senior Citizens In Danger At Journey’s End Trailer Park
Journey’s End trailer park sat within close distance to the Round Barn and the Hilton hotel. Once the flames jumped the roads, Journey’s End was in immediate danger. The park was an even more critical evacuation, as it was a senior citizen community and many of the residents were handicapped and living alone, making it harder to flee. At least 100 of the 160 homes were damaged or completely burned down.
69-year-old Linda Tunis lost her life in the fire. Her daughter posted on Facebook, “My mother’s remains have been found at her home at Journey’s End. May she rest in peace, my sweet Momma.” ABC 7 News talked with James Cook, manager of Journey’s End who said, “We were doing a door-to-door, knocking on the doors, getting people out.” Another woman, with memory loss, is still missing.
