A fire breaks out in the nurses’ rest room at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) Maternity Unit, prompting the temporary evacuation of patients on Saturday evening. The hospital says the incident occurs at about 18:50, and that staff detect and extinguish the blaze quickly. Both outlets report that no injuries are recorded.
The hospital describes the event as being handled promptly by medical staff on site. INews Guyana adds that a fan is understood to have been involved, though details beyond that are not expanded in the reports provided. Overall, the accounts focus on the timing, the location within the maternity unit, the rapid response, and the absence of reported harm.
While both sources align on the core facts of where and when the fire starts and how quickly it is brought under control, they differ slightly in emphasis: Guyana Chronicle highlights the lack of injuries and the evacuation, while INews Guyana focuses on staff action and the possible role of a fan.
