A fire broke out recently in the physiotherapy area of a hospital in Sector 11, Noida. According to media accounts, the situation occurred about 7:50 a.m. but was promptly resolved due to the medical staff's rapid vigilance and the fire department's timely arrival. 

Smoke was first detected billowing from the physiotherapy unit, according to local media and hospital sources. After noticing the smoke, one of the employees sounded an alarm, which activated the hospital's fire protection system. The smoke detector and automatic fire alarm system instantly notified the certified internal safety staff, who went to the scene at Rod. 

Simultaneously, the fire department received notification. According to fire officer Pradeep Kumar, who supervised the operation, "Our teams reached the scene with three fire engines and managed to control the fire efficiently." 

The fire is thought to be the result of a short circuit, a frequent electrical problem in which wires overheat due to poor connections. While the fire was contained to the physiotherapy section, the staff's prompt response prevented it from spreading to the emergency wing and other key hospital facilities. 

Fortunately, no patients were present in the impacted part during the occurrence. The physiotherapy unit was empty because it was early in the morning. The remainder of the hospital, including the patient wards and main building, was unaffected. "Because the unit is housed separately from the inpatient wards, smoke did not reach the main hospital building," revealed a hospital administration spokesman. 

To supplement the reaction, internal hospital personnel used in-house fire control equipment prior to the arrival of the fire department. Skilled hospital safety experts and fire department specialists collaborated to extinguish the fire in less than 20 minutes. 

Management officials also confirmed that they inspected all hospital machines after the event to ensure safety. The fire caused no severe structural damage or injuries. 

"This incident demonstrates the importance of having a working fire alarm and a trained safety team." "The fire alarm went off as soon as smoke appeared, and our team responded right away," said a hospital safety officer. 

This episode highlights the vital need for hospitals and public institutions to conduct frequent fire safety drills and follow current emergency protocols. The consequences could have been significantly worse if we hadn't detected this incident in time, particularly in a healthcare centre where vulnerable patients were involved. 

The fire department stated that it will now conduct a thorough investigation to discover the exact cause and recommend additional enhancements to electrical safety.
