A minor fire broke out at the Sushrut Hospital in Swastik Park, Chembur, around 1 pm yesterday. The incident occurred at a time when the dismantling work of the chimney on the terrace was in progress. Soon after the ventilator on the third floor of the six-storeyed hospital building started emitting smoke, the hospital staff adhered to the fire drill and brought almost all the patients to the safety of the ground floor.

The hospital staff shifted the patients to the ground floor of Sushrut Hospital as soon as the fire broke out
