扫描器零件过热所致 中央医院火警70人疏散

中央医院一电器部件引起火警,70人包括病患和工作人员都被紧急疏散。 院方表示医院内第二座大楼地下层一楼的烟雾探测器于昨日下午1时50分被启动。 新加坡民防部队向《亚洲新闻台》指出,医院建筑内的一个电器部件引起小火患,该部件也在火灾中,于消防员抵达之前烧毁。 民防部队指出,“由于仍然传出浓烟,我们基于安全预防,紧急疏散了约70人。没有接获任何伤亡报告,火灾肇因仍在调查”。 中央医院首席运营官陈杰添(Tan Jack Thiam,译音)指出,疏散行动主要是出于极度谨慎的安全考量。 他指出,任何时候都要确保没有人处于危险当中,并表示在警铃响起后数分钟,院方紧急小组就赶到案发现场了。 他说,初步调查发现扫描仪器内的电器部件,因为过热而开始冒烟。而在现场的人们即刻关上扫描仪器。 火灾后,院方展开场地清理工作,让人们返回现场,并为需要进行扫描的病患安排其他的扫描仪器。 陈杰添指出,有关的火灾对院方服务影响甚微,并且为少数患者安排重新扫描程序。 “我们为这次意外所导致的不便深感抱歉。”
