He said a ward boy noticed the flames and alerted security guards, who in turn called up Fire Brigade.
The flames were put out by Fire personnel after a brief operation, he said.
Prima facie, the short circuit is suspected to be the cause behind the incident.
Meanwhile, all the patients were shifted to the "Hangar C" section of the CCC.
