Patients and staff had to be evacuated after a fire broke out at Utah Valley Hospital early Saturday morning.
According to Provo Police, the fire occurred just before 6:30 a.m. on the 3rd floor of the hospital. Responding officers and firefighters helped evacuate patients and staff from the Women and Children’s Floor of the building. No injuries were reported.
The fire was quickly put out thanks in part to the sprinkler and fire suppression system. At time of writing, Intermountain Health tells FOX 13 News that crews are still working to assess the damage and clean up the area before letting staff back inside.
