LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Crews responded to a fire at the UK Good Samaritan Hospital around 12:27 p.m. on Thursday.

According to officials, the initial report was for a fire alarm, but when crews arrived on the scene, it was upgraded to a structure fire due to a slight haze coming from a mechanical room.

Officials say the fire has been extinguished, and no injuries are reported.

The fire was reportedly due to electrical failure of parts of the power system and some of the backup system.

UK ambulances are transferring some critical patients to UK-Chandler.
