[QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 51760, member: 636"] Medical personnel at Chosun University Hospital quickly contained a blaze that erupted Monday morning within their surgical facilities. Emergency responders received notification at 8:12 AM about flames emerging from the seventh operating theater situated on the third floor of the medical center's newest structure. Hospital staff members successfully suppressed the fire using available extinguishing equipment before professional firefighters could respond to the scene. The entire incident lasted approximately ten minutes from initial detection through complete suppression. Authorities confirmed that no surgical procedures were taking place when the incident occurred. Approximately forty individuals required relocation due to smoke exposure during the emergency response. Medical personnel transferred these affected patients and staff members to the emergency department for evaluation and treatment. Fire department officials reported zero casualties resulted from the morning incident. The swift response by hospital workers prevented any serious injuries or extensive property damage. Emergency protocols functioned effectively throughout the evacuation process. Investigators suspect an electrical malfunction within a power distribution device triggered the fire outbreak. Officials will commence their comprehensive examination once ventilation systems clear remaining smoke from the affected area. The hospital administration announced that the damaged operating room will remain shuttered pending completion of thorough safety assessments. Medical operations continue normally throughout other areas of the facility. Gwangju Fire Department personnel confirmed their preliminary findings regarding the electrical cause. [/QUOTE]
