Fire at St. Clare's Hospital; No Injuries Reported

DENVILLE — No one was injured after an air handler caught fire on the roof due to a mechanical failure at Saint Clare’s Denville Hospital Monday afternoon.

Several patients in the emergency room were transported to St. Clare’s Dover Campus and other patients within the building were moved to other unaffected areas of the hospital.

Once the fire was doused, the heavy smoke spread through a portion of the building and led to patients’ evacuation.
