Ahmedabad: Fire broke out in a building at Parimal Cross roads on CG Road today post noon. The building houses Apple Children’s hospital on its top floor. At least four vehicles of Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Service rushed to the spot and controlled the fire. None casualty or injury was reported.

Roof-top facility of Apple children hospital is gutted but children were admitted on the other floor. They were shifted due to possibility of spread of smoke.

Statement by Apple Children Hospital

On the afternoon of 13th May , 2019 Monday, a fire broke at the rooftop of Dev Complex which houses our hospital on the fourth floor. The roof top had some discarded materials including some old, broken furniture, which alongwith the fibre shade used for protection caught fire that caused heavy smoke from that area. The police and Fire dept were informed quickly.

Before the fire could affect the floors below, as a preventive measure, all the infants and child patients were quickly evacuated to a nearby hospital and they are safe.
