KUDOS to Daisy Hernandez for Leading the Team Through a Code Red Event

Special thanks to Daisy Hernandez for leading the troops as Acute Care CTL Sunday morning when a fan coil unit caught on fire in a patient room. On Sunday morning around 1:00am, a Code Red was activated for an inpatient room. The motor in the fan coil unit had a short circuit causing an electrical fire that filled the room with smoke. KUDOS to the quick response from Acute Care staff that quickly sprung into action following all their protocols from training. The hallways were cleared, patients evacuated to other rooms quickly and safely, doors closed, smoke contained and through the chaos they remained calm. In addition, thanks to Patient Access, ED, Respiratory, CFMH Police and other department responses to assist. Thank you for taking fire safety seriously and putting hands and feet to the training when it counted most!! And most of all thank you for putting your training into action and showing you put patient safety as your top priority! CFMH Teamwork is amazing!!
