A blown electrical panel at the Harbor Landing timeshare resort on Beach Street in Tisbury sent 36 people to area hotels Thursday night while officials assessed what happened. Tisbury’s fire and police departments converged on the Harbor Landing building Thursday night after smoke triggered an evacuation.
Harbor Landing general manager Bonnie Bearse told The Times on Friday that the smoke smelled like sulfur. Tisbury building commissioner Ross Seavey and Tisbury Fire Chief Greg Leland spoke with The Times outside the building on Friday. Both officials said the Harbor Landing had been inspected, and was reopened for residents to return.
