Fire drama in the Floridsdorf clinic: patient injured, everyone safe!

A dramatic incident occurred shortly before midnight yesterday at the Floridsdorf Clinic in Vienna. A smoking patient who was connected to an oxygen supply started a fire in his patient room. As the health association announced, the immediate activation of the sprinkler system and the rapid reaction of the staff prevented anything worse from happening. The injured patient suffered burns to the face and neck area and is currently in intensive care. His condition was assessed as stable while the affected employees were examined and treated for possible smoke inhalation, reported Kosmo.at.

The rapid evacuation was also a crucial factor in this critical situation: all 30 patients in the affected ward were safely moved to other areas of the clinic. This rapid intervention may have prevented further damage and injuries when the fire broke out. A comprehensive assessment of the damage and plans to restore the affected room are planned for today OTS.at.
