Posted

ELY- A fire on the roof of Ely-Bloomenson Community Hospital (EBCH) at approximately 1:30 p.m. today apparently had little effect on hospital services.
According to an EBCH press release, the hospital experienced a “minor fire emergency on our roof.” An established fire plan was followed which did not impact patient care or the residents of Boundary Waters Care Center. EBCH remained open for business, including the Emergency Department.
“Visitors are welcome at this time for our inpatients,” the release said. “We thank our quick-acting staff and the community emergency response teams that responded to our facility.”
