WITH SOME CHAOTIC MOMENTS AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL. PITTSBURGH'S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER SHELDON INGRAM IS JOINING US LIVE RIGHT NOW WITH THE AFTERMATH OF A FIRE IN JEFFERSON HILLS AND HOW IT IMPACTED PATIENTS THERE. SHELDON. YES. WELL, THERE WERE SOME VERY TENSE MOMENTS HERE AT JEFFERSON HOSPITAL. IT WAS A FIRE THAT STARTED ON A ROOF DURING A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. AND BUT THERE WAS NO EVACUATIONS THAT WERE NEEDED IN THE HOSPITAL. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IT WAS A SOME WELDING GOING ON, CAUGHT SOME INSULATION ON FIRE. AND THAT SPREAD AND THAT CAUSED SOME SMOKE TO GO THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. MOST OF WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH TODAY WAS, WAS, AS HE MENTIONED, SMOKE FUMES. SO WILL ANY PART OF HOSPITAL OPERATIONS BE AFFECTED BY THIS MISHAP? THEY WERE, BUT THEY AREN'T ANY LONGER. AND MORE THAN A DOZEN FIRST RESPONDER VEHICLES NEEDED ACCESS TO THE HOSPITAL TO CONTROL THE FIRE. NOW, SOME SMOKE DID ENTER THE UPPER FLOORS, BUT AS I MENTIONED A FEW MOMENTS AGO, NO EVACUATION WAS NECESSARY. BUT THERE WAS SOME INCONVENIENCE TO PATIENTS WITH MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS TRYING TO ENTER THE HOSPITAL. THEY COULD NOT ACCESS PARKING ON HOSPITAL GROUNDS, SO THEY WERE FORCED TO WALK TO THE HOSPITAL FROM COLE VALLEY ROAD. AND THAT INCLUDES A WOMAN WITH A 96 YEAR OLD FATHER WITH A PACEMAKER. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED MUCH BETTER, AND THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE THAT I AS I WAS WAITING THEREE FOR 45 MINUTES TO SEE IF THE SHUTTLE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK. THERE WAS OLDER PEOPLE. THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ONE LADY HAD CANCER REMOVED OFF HER FACE. SHE HAD WALKED ALL THE WAY UP THAT HILL. SHE WAS PROBABLY IN HER LATE 70S. ALSO TONIGHT, AUTHORITIES TELL US THAT THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS SUFFERED ONLY MINOR INJURIES. REPORTING
