Fire broke out Thursday night at a nursing home on Greenwood Street in Hartford, the same facility where more than a dozen people died in a blaze 11 years.
Hartford fire officials said flames broke out in the laundry room around 7:45 p.m. The fire was contained to just that area, but firefighters struck a second alarm as a precaution since a number of residents can't walk.
Everyone made it out safely, but one staff member was taken to the hospital for treatment of possible smoke inhalation.
Firefighters extinguished most of the flames by around 8 p.m. and began leaving the scene about an hour later.
Sixteen nursing home patients died and dozens more were injured in a blaze at this facility in 2003.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire.
