Sunday Morning Fire Damages Rocky Hill Nursing Home

ROCKY HILL, CT — No one was hurt, but local firefighters were scrambled in the wee hours Sunday to battle a blaze inside a local nursing home.

According to the Rocky Hill Fire Department, at about 2:45 a.m. Sunday, firefighters were called to 856 Maple St. at the Maple View Manor nursing home for a fire alarm activation.

Whey they showed up, however, firefighters discovered a smoke condition in the kitchen area and there was no "known immediate source," the RHFD said in a social media post.

As a result, the RHFD said, a working structure fire was declared.

Eventually, the fire was contained to a kitchen vent fan, firefighters said.

At 3:31 a.m., the fire was deemed to be under control, all patients were accounted for and they were "protected in place," the department said.

"Task Force 51 provided town coverage during the call," wrote the RHFD. "The facility remained open and there were no injuries to residents or fire personnel."
