Man reportedly passed out from smoke inhalation @ NHI
Information is sketchy; however, our News Centre was told the incident occurred just before midday.
Other persons also reportedly complained of smelling some sort of fumes.
The man told our newsroom the smell made him nauseated and he ended up at the hospital. He said he did not return to NHI after being discharged.
Electrical wire was burning
Fire and Rescue Services was called in.
Chief Fire Officer Zebalon A. McLean confirmed that Fire and Rescue Services Department received a call around 11:59 AM.
"We have no reports of illness or injury as a result of the smoke," Mr McLean stated.
The Chief Fire Officer said; however, he was not in a position to say what was the cause of the 'smoke'.
A senior official at Social Security Board told our news centre that the staff was evacuated from the building due to the burning smell from an electrical wire. "The electrician came and rectified the problem within an hour and everything was back to normal."
The official also said they were unaware of anyone having to go to hospital as a result of the smoke inhalation.
We will provide more information as it comes in.
