One person is hospitalized and others are displaced after fire broke out in a second-floor laundry room of an apartment building on Asylum Street in Hartford.
Fire broke out on the second floor of 887 Asylum Ave. early Friday morning and extended to a small portion of the third floor, according to officials.
The fire has been knocked down and one person was taken to the hospital to be evaluated for possible smoke inhalation.
Only a portion of one side of the building is affected, but residents of a few apartments on the second and possibly third floor will be displaced because of smoke and water damage and a city bus arrived to keep them warm.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
