The fire originated from a light fixture above a patient bed. Fortunately, quick action by the on-site staff prevented further spread.
Our crews assisted with ventilation to clear residual smoke and dry chem powder from the affected area.
No injuries reported.
Great reminder of the importance of fire extinguisher training and early intervention.
Well done to the facility staff for their fast response. 
The facility was not named.
