Burning smell sparks firefighter call out to Royal Cornwall Hospital maternity wing
Firefighters were called to the maternity wing at Royal Cornwall Hospital in the early hours of this morning after a report people could smell burning.
Crews from Truro responded just before 3am to the alarm at a ward in the Princess Alexandra Maternity wing.
A fire service spokesman said that on arrival crews found there had been a small fire in an air handling unit.
Crews used a thermal imaging camera to confirm the fire was out and carried out an inspection only.
