Electrical fire forces Heartland Health Business Plaza to close

Updated – A small electrical fire forced the Heartland Health Business Plaza to close Tuesday morning.

According to Mosaic Life Care the fire was confined to one cubicle, which received minor damage. Mosaic said the fire was quickly extinguished by a caregiver and all caregivers were evacuated from the building and emergency crews responded immediately.

No injuries were reported.

However, due to the amount of smoke and debris the fire created, HHBP caregivers were sent home or relocated for safety.

Mosaic said cleaning and restoration activities will occur inside the HHBP until at least Friday, April 10, and a section of the building will be closed to the public. Full building occupancy and operations will return to HHBP once air and electrical systems have been checked and confirmed safe.

A Hospital Incident Command Center (HICS) was enacted to quickly and efficiently address and relocate HHBP services to alternate systems. HHBP services with their current and expected status is as follows:
