AC catches fire in SCB, patients safe
Updated: 2014-09-27-11:32
CUTTACK: Around 12 patients at the central ICU of SCB Medical College and Hospital here had a narrow escape when thick plumes of smoke from an air-conditioner (AC) filled the room in the ground floor late on Thursday.
The patients were pushed to the adjoining step-down room before the situation could be brought under control.
As mediapersons have been banned from entering SCB, there was little scope to know the condition of patients. Hospital emergency officer B N Moharana, however, said patients were not affected.
