IN BERGAMO, ITALY, A LARGE FIRE BROKE OUT in a hospital Monday morning causing the evacuation of more than 150 patients. The fire started on the first floor of the Romano di Lombardia hospital in the “day surgery” wing.
There were 50 firefighters from three FD’s, Romano, Bergamo, and Treviglio working the fire. The fire was rapidly contained, thus preventing the need to evacuate other sections of the hospital that held more-seriously ill patients.
The FF’s remained on the scene through the entire dayand into the evening helping to clean up the affected areas so that some of the patients could be returned to the hospital. On Tuesday 34 patients were able to be returned to their wards. L’Eco di Bergamo documented this extra-effort by the firefighters to help restore services with a 12-image photo gallery HERE.
