Small fire disrupts Sturgeon Community Hospital for a couple hours

  EDMONTON Investigators are trying to determine what sparked a small electrical fire that temporarily disrupted emergency room services at St. Albert’s Sturgeon Community Hospital. The small fire started at 4 p.m. Saturday. No one was injured but Alberta Health Services told CTV News Edmonton some patients were moved to other areas of the hospital. Five patients were moved by ground ambulance to other facilities in the area and no incoming patients were received for two hours. The fire was put out and the hospital resumed normal operations at around 6 p.m. The cause of the fire is not known and the incident is under investigation.

The two hospitals are approximately 33 kilometres apart from one another. “AHS apologizes for any inconvenience this might cause,” read the release. The Fort Saskatchewan hospital’s ER department will remain open for urgent and emergent care. AHS is in the process of creating more capacity for hospitals across the province. Alberta’s chief medical officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw announced in November that the province was working to open as many as 400 intensive care units and 2,000 acute care beds to accommodate for rising COVID-19 cases. “I would hope that we never have to utilize that volume of beds,” said Hinshaw at the time.
