Smokers ensure brand tapping in the hospital - patient injured!

In the Floridsdorf Clinic in Vienna, a fire was triggered late Friday evening when a patient who was cared for with oxygen was secretly lit a cigarette. This dangerous act caused the room to open in flames due to the oxygen concentration in the air. Fortunately, no one else was in the room at this point. The smoker suffered serious burns on the face and neck and had to be brought to the intensive care unit where his condition was classified as stable, as krone.at reported.

The sprinkler system addressed immediately so that the fire could be deleted quickly. The clinic staff reacted at lightning speed. Six other people, including two security employees and four clinic employees, were examined for flue gas poisoning, since they might have come into contact with smoke. As a precaution, all 30 patients of the person concerned had to be relocated to other stations to ensure their security, such as 5min.at . On Saturday there is a damage assessment and the planning of the re -establishment of the affected room.
