On March 25, a fire broke out in the Sunrise Hospital situated on the fourth floor of the Dreams Mall in suburban Bhandup. The hospital had started functioning in October 2020.
Extinguishers installed at the facility came in handy
MUMBAI: A tragedy was averted after a fire broke out at a jumbo Covid centre in Dahisar around noon on Sunday. While 50 patients were moved out in the nick of time, no instance of anyone being injured was reported. “Patients’ lives were saved in the nick of time,” a fire official claimed. No BMC official was available for comment.
This is the third such instance of a fire breaking out at a Covid care centre in the city in the last six months.
On Sunday, at least 50 were undergoing treatment at hangar ‘F’ the section where the fire broke out and eventually spread to the adjacent hangar ‘G’ where another 49 had been admitted.
