The fire broke out around 7 p.m. Wednesday after a patient had just completed using the MRI. The fire was limited to the MRI unit, but smoke entered other areas of the hospital and patients in the adjacent emergency department were moved to another hospital. No injuries were reported.
The hospital opened in the fall.
