Patients Moved After Sprinkler Malfunction Floods Wing At Hospital In Westchester

Several patients had to be relocated after a sprinkler malfunction caused part of a Westchester County hospital to flood.

The incident happened on Thursday morning, Aug. 15 at White Plains Hospital, when one of the building's wings was flooded, according to the hospital's Senior Director of Communications Michael Gelormino.

Once the wing started flooding, staff worked to relocate patients to unaffected areas. No injuries were reported and all patients are safe, Gelormino said.

Hospital staff are currently assessing the impacted areas to understand when patients can be moved back to the flooded wing.
