The fire broke out around 3:00 p.m. in a private hospital in Maltepe Küçükyalı. When the fire that broke out in the data processing room was noticed for an unknown reason, many firefighters were dispatched to the region.
Before long, the teams that arrived at the scene began to intervene in the fire. Meanwhile, the hospital was evacuated. Eight patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit next to the information processing room where the fire broke out were transported on stretchers and taken to nearby hospitals in ambulances. The fire was extinguished as a result of fire fighting equipment.
On the other hand, external oxygen support was provided to hospital employees who responded first to the fire. Regarding the incident, Maltepe District Governor Meftun Dallı said: “A fire broke out from a sofa in the basement. We still don’t know why. The sofa catches fire, it burns. Meanwhile, there is intervention. The fire department is coming. That’s all fire. Other than that, there is no fire in the building. But there are patients in the intensive care unit on the same ground floor. Since the evacuation of the smoke will be somewhat delayed, the patients are referred.
We do not have a patient adversely affected by smoke. But as a precaution, 8 of the intensive care patients are transferred to hospitals. Other than that, there is no damage to the building. Hospital staff were affected by the smoke. Smoke evacuation is slightly delayed. The fumes are now evacuated with the support of firefighters. There is some electrical equipment in the room, the fire department is examining. There is no clear information on whether the fire came from him or from the cigarette, “he said.
