St Mary’s Hospital in London was evacuated today after a fire broke out in one of the facility’s buildings. Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene, and all patients, staff, and visitors were safely evacuated as a precaution.
The fire reportedly started in a non-clinical area of the hospital, and there have been no immediate reports of injuries. Firefighters managed to contain the blaze, and investigations are underway to determine the cause.
Authorities praised the hospital staff for their rapid response and coordination during the evacuation. Several nearby roads were temporarily closed to allow emergency teams to operate without obstruction.
The hospital is expected to resume partial operations once safety checks are completed.
