Fire at NICH in Karachi brought under control

An investigation into both incidents is underway

A fire broke out at Karachi’s National Institute of Child Health (NICH) on Sunday.

The first involved a short circuit on the fourth floor, causing a fire that spread smoke to the fifth floor.

While some equipment was damaged, the fire was quickly extinguished by rescue teams, and all patients were safely relocated. No casualties were reported.

In a separate incident, a newborn girl suffered serious burn injuries when an incubator caught fire in the ICU, also attributed to a short circuit.

An investigation into both incidents is underway.
