A tent hospital was set up in a Fort McMurray parking lot as 350 people work around the clock to repair and clean the city’s water-damaged hospital, according to an article on the Edmunton Journal website.
Assembled in the parking lot of Fort McMurray’s Syncrude Sport and Wellness Centre, the 4,750-square-foot structure will be run by doctors, nurses, managers and other healthcare workers from across Alberta, Canada, as crews pour into town after a fire.
Although spared the flames, the 136-bed Northern Lights Regional Health Centre got wet and smoky.
“There is smoke and there is water damage in there, largely because of our efforts to protect the critical infrastructure. It’s a hospital. It has to be sanitary,” a hospital official said.
