A huge fire “involving solar panels” has torn through a maternity hospital in Bristol.
Plumes of thick black smoke filled the Bristol skyline following the fire that started at around 4.30pm at Saint Michael’s Hospital on Southwell Street on Thursday.
Firefighters confirmed that pregnant women and babies were forced to evacuate from the maternity hospital when the fire began in solar panels on the roof.
Meanwhile hundreds of schools and hospitals across the UK are set to receive £180 million for solar panels from the government’s new state-owned energy company. All thanks to Ed Miliband and his net zero drive.
The Express reports: Fire crews from 10 areas were deployed to battle the raging flames that burned through the roof of the building. The hospital was partially evacuated at the time of the incident and no injuries or casualties were recorded. The blaze has now been extinguished although five fire crews remained onsite into the evening for safety purposes. An investigation will follow into the cause of the fire, as confirmed by Avon Fire and Rescue.
The photo taken from the CMM building at the university of Bristol show smoke billowing from the top of the building.
St Michael’s Hill was closed in both directions, and queueing traffic built up due to the emergency service presence from Tyndall Avenue to Horfield Road.
Avon Fire and Rescue said: “Crews from Temple, Yate, Southmead, Bedminster, Hicks Gate, Patchway, Kingswood, Nailsea, Avonmouth, Weston-Super-Mare were called at 4:23pm to reports of a fire on the roof of a hospital involving solar panels on Southwell Street, Bristol.
“Upon arrival, crews located a fire on the roof of the building and began firefighting efforts.
“The hospital was partially evacuated at the time of the incident. We can confirm that the fire has now been extinguished, and we currently have five fire engines on scene including one turntable ladder for monitoring purposes.
“Police crews remain on scene to assist with traffic and cordon management. Some cordons are expected to be lifted. No injuries or casualties have been reported.”
