Smoke But No Fire Reported At Sutter Regional Medical Center: VFD

VACAVILLE, CA — The Vacaville Fire Department responded to a report of smoke and an electrical odor near a lab at Sutter Regional Medical Center Tuesday morning, a fire battalion chief said. Firefighters responded around 10 a.m. to the hospital at 770 Mason St. but did not find a fire, Vacaville Fire Battalion Chief Gary Mahlberg said.

The smoke and odor was coming from air conditioning vents in a hallway on the third floor. The source of the smoke is undetermined, Mahlberg said.

"We double-checked the motors, electrical panel and elevator rooms," Mahlberg said. "It disappeared on its own."

Engineers with Sutter Regional Hospital continued to search for the source of the smoke and electrical odor, but Vacaville firefighters left the scene around 11 a.m., Mahlberg said.
