A burst pipe affecting part of a sprinkler system prompted a precautionary evacuation early Tuesday morning at Whiting Gardens Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Manchester, officials said.

The issue impacted limited areas of the facility, leading Administrator Ari Vinitzky and his staff to begin the relocation of roughly 60 residents as a safety measure. The evacuation was overseen by the Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office, working in coordination with the Manchester Township Office of Emergency Management.

Facility officials emphasized that residents are being moved safely and that there is no danger to the public or immediate risk to residents or staff. Operations continued in unaffected sections of the building while responders addressed the issue.

Family members seeking updates were advised to contact the facility’s administration at 732-849-4400.

No injuries were reported, and officials did not immediately provide a timeline for when relocated residents would return.
