Patients Evacuated From Texas Hospital Following Water Leak
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — A suburban Dallas hospital was evacuated and dozens of patients moved to other facilities after a pipe burst and caused water to rain on the floors below.
Officials in Frisco said in a statement that 78 patients at Baylor Scott & White — Centennial Hospital were moved elsewhere after the water began leaking Wednesday evening.
Ambulances en route to the hospital were redirected elsewhere.
Water to the four-story building was turned off after the leak was found on the third floor and water had fallen onto the floors below.
The hospital began experiencing power failure after the leak began and fire officials determined it was unsafe to use a backup generator, leading to the evacuation.
Ambulances from throughout the region were used to transport patients.
