Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Firefighters have managed to extinguish a fire that broke out at the Charlotte Maxeke Hospital in Parktown, Johannesburg, on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The blaze ripped through a ward on the ninth floor at the facility, with no deaths or injuries reported and no major disruptions to overall hospital services.<\/p>\n

Emergency Service teams said the cause of the fire is still unclear at this stage, as is the full extent of the damage.<\/p>\n

Ward 196 on the ninth floor at the hospital has been closed off as a clean-up operation is underway.<\/p>\n

Security personnel are keeping a close guard of the entrance to the ward.<\/p>\n

Patients have also been relocated to other wards, and all beds have been removed from the affected area.<\/p>\n

While the hospital continues to operate as normal, a full report is expected on what happened and how much damage has been done.<\/p>\n
