An investigation is underway after a fire broke out at a nursing home and rehabilitation center in Somerset.
Crews were called to Somerset Ridge Center around 3:30 a.m. on Thursday.
Fire Chief Jamison Barros said the fire broke out in an empty community room on the second floor, and the sprinkler system kept the fire contained.
“The staff did a fantastic job of isolating that room. They actually used some extinguishers to put out the fire in that room and start to shuttle and shelter in place the residents they had, so they did a fantastic job,” Barros said.
