Fire forces evacuations at Odessa hospital labor wing
A surge of power triggered smoke and alarms at Odessa Regional Medical Center work on Thursday. Staff evacuated patients from floors two and four and radiology. Two infants and a mother were moved to ORMC along with multiple mothers and babies in the NICU and newborn areas. Fire crews from multiple units contained the blaze within an hour. Derrick and Morgan Baker, visiting for the birth of their daughter Kaitlyn, described chaotic moments as smoke filled their room and staff directed them to safety.
