No injuries were reported.

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Lawrenceburg firefighters responded to St. Elizabeth Dearborn on Wednesday evening.

A small electrical short was the cause for the run after smoke was reported on one of the floors.

According to St. Elizabeth, the short disrupted air conditioning service for the patient tower. A temporary fix was put in place overnight and all parts of the hospital are cooling.

As result of the short, 33 patients were impacted overnight by the loss of AC. Given that the temporary fix was put in place quickly, only 15 patients had to be moved.

The hospital says procedures scheduled for Thursday at St. Elizabeth Dearborn will continue as planned. If any patients are impacted, they will be contacted by their provider. Visitors are welcome as well.

No injuries were reported.
