Tortosa’s Hospital Santa Creu de Jesús has carried out a fire drill with Protecció Civil de la Generalitat to test its self-protection plan. The exercise simulated an electrical fire in a panel on the third floor.
The drill gave hospital staff and emergency services a chance to practise their response procedures in a controlled setting. It also tested coordination between the hospital’s internal teams and external responders.
According to the information provided, the scenario focused on how the hospital would handle detection, containment and evacuation in the event of a fire. That kind of exercise is used to check whether safety procedures work as planned.
Officials will now analyse the results of the drill and review any points that need improvement. The aim is to strengthen preparedness for a real emergency at the facility.
