Staff at Erlanger Hospital took quick action late Tuesday afternoon to extinguish a fire in a closet, protecting patients in the process.
The Chattanooga Fire Department was dispatched to 975 E. 3rd Street at 5:03 p.m. Tuesday for a reported working fire on the third floor of Erlanger Hospital. Crews went inside to investigate and found that the fire was already out. Employees had used fire extinguishers to put it out.
Firefighters immediately started ventilating the area and used several fans to clear out the smoke. They also checked for any possible extension and used air monitors to make sure the quality was safe for the staff and patients. Multiple Green Shift companies responded to the scene, along with CFD investigators who are looking into the cause of the fire. There are no known injuries at this time.
