HUDSON—Hudson firefighters were called to Columbia Memorial Hospital (CMH), 71 Prospect Avenue, for a reported broken pipe on the second floor above the ER and an odor of electrical burning January 16 at 5:42 a.m. Greenport and Stottville firefighters provided mutual aid and Germantown, Claverack and Catskill firefighters provided standby coverage.
CMH officials issued a press release that said, “An area wide power outage last night resulted in cold air infiltrating a mechanical area above the imaging unit and emergency department. This cold air caused a sprinkler head to freeze and burst, dispersing water to some ceiling tiles in a small number of bays in the ED and in the adjacent CT imaging suite. Staff disengaged power from the impacted areas and have begun replacing the saturated ceiling tiles.”
An alternate CT suite was made available “for any emergent needs.” Ambulance traffic was temporarily redirected, though the ED remained open and available for emergency walk-in care. Impacted areas were expected to be back in operation later that day or the next.
Firefighters were back in service at 9:02 a.m. Read more…
