WUHAN — Four people were killed in a hospital fire in Huangshi City in central China’s Hubei Province Sunday, local authorities told Xinhua.
The fire broke out at around 4:20 a.m. on the ground floor of the inpatient building at the city’s No. 2 People’s Hospital, according to the public security department.
One person was killed at the site. A patient died after jumping off the building. Two other patients in intensive care died after being transferred to a safe place, said a police officer who requested anonymity.
The rest of the patients have been properly settled and are in stable condition, he said.
