BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — A fire at a Brockton hospital’s electrical transformer forced an undetermined number of evacuations Tuesday morning and power was shut off to the building for safety reasons, officials said.
“We are removing some critically ill and injured patients” out of Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital to other facilities, Brockton Fire Chief Brian Nardelli said at a news conference.
He said the fire at was mostly extinguished.
There were no injuries reported in the fire, which started before 9 a.m. Temperatures were in the high 20s.
Nardelli said the hospital’s emergency generator, which was supplying power to the building, had to be shut off so the fire could be put out.
Nardelli said at the time the fire started, hospital personnel said they had 187 patients, “but people have been discharged in and out, so we don’t have that exact number right now.”
Signature Healthcare is a 216-bed hospital. Brockton is about 25 miles south of Boston.
A family reunification hotline was established to help connect families with members that may have been moved from the hospital. The number is (508) 941-7293.
