On Friday, a fire broke out at Asian Hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, India.

The hospital administration alerted Dr. Shoeb Hashmi, who immediately contacted the fire brigade.
Footage captured by CCTV cameras shows hospital staff swiftly moving newborn babies to safety just before the fire engulfed the ward. Local corporator Usma Abdul Quadir also arrived at the scene and assisted in the rescue operation.

As a precaution, the entire NICU ward, along with patients from a neighboring general ward, was evacuated. All nine infants were safely shifted to other hospitals with the consent of their relatives. The hospital team acted promptly, controlling the situation without any casualties or injuries. The hospital has since completed cleaning and is now operating normally.
