The incident occurred last Friday (April 2), when Valentin Filatov, chief surgeon of the Cardiology Center of the Amur Region Medical Academy, and seven other medical staff were performing heart surgery in the operating room when the roof of the hospital suddenly caught fire, sending out thick smoke and a fierce fire, and the hospital’s fire alarm went off instantly. A total of 128 people were evacuated.
Despite the fact that the hospital was in flames and the power was out, Filatov and his team did not evacuate and continued to operate on patients.
When firefighters were called to the scene, they learned that there were still eight people in the operating room who had not been evacuated and quickly used electric ventilators to ventilate the operating room, blow out the smoke, and move the patients to an underground operating room for backup power to continue treatment.
