No Injuries After Several Small Fires Break Out At MedStar Franklin Square Hospital
BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD (WJZ)-- Several patients had to be relocated to different rooms at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center after several small fires broke out in their Inpatient tower earlier Sunday.
Fire and MedStar officials said no one was injured and the fires were extinguished quickly. Patients sheltered in place while fire crews put out the fires.
The fires broke out on three floors of the hospital, Baltimore County Fire said. Investigators remain on scene working to determine a cause of these fires but all other crews are clearing the scene.
The patients that were relocated to different units throughout the hospital due to smoke and water damage continue to receive the "appropriate level of care they require," a MedStar spokesperson said later Sunday.
It is not known if these fires are connected to the fire Saturday at the hospital.
