Fire Erupts at Doctors’ Hostel in Children Hospital Lahore

A fire erupted on the upper level of the Children's Hospital in Lahore after an air conditioning power plug ignited due to an electrical issue. Smoke quickly permeated the hospital grounds, causing distress among the individuals present. Despite the chaos, hospital employees quickly took action to prevent the blaze from spreading further, successfully containing the flames within the doctors' hostel.

No injuries were reported as a result of the incident. Hospital officials confirmed that the fire was swiftly extinguished due to the prompt response from hospital staff. The root cause of the fire has been determined as a short circuit in the AC power plug. This latest tragedy follows another fire incident at the same hospital last month, where a blaze in the emergency elevator caused smoke to engulf the building.

Firefighters managed to control the situation promptly on September 17, 2026. The most recent fire-related event at the Children's Hospital Lahore adds to the growing concern over safety measures within the facility.
