Five people were injured in a rush to evacuate Shibchar Upazila Health Complex in Madaripur after a fire scare on Sunday night. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. on March 8, 2026, when patients, relatives, and staff hurriedly fled the six-story hospital building fearing a fire. Fire service personnel arrived shortly after and found no evidence of an actual fire. Patients returned to their wards about two hours later.
According to hospital officials, the panic began when an oxygen cylinder on the sixth floor leaked, producing a loud noise and causing the women’s ward to go dark. The sudden sound led patients and attendants to believe a fire had broken out. Resident Medical Officer Dr. Ibrahim confirmed that the noise came from a leaking oxygen valve and that no fatalities occurred. Fire Station Officer Tapan Kumar Ghosh said the situation was brought under control without major damage.
Authorities reported that the hospital resumed normal operations later that night after confirming there was no fire hazard.
