Thunder Bay Hospital Sprinkler

Hospital officials in Thunder Bay suspect an agitated patient was responsible for setting off a sprinkler.

A hospital spokesman says damage at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre will be in the tens of thousands of dollars.

A Thunder Bay fire spokesman says flooding was restricted to the emergency department and neonatal care unit.

Officials say no one saw the sprinkler head removed, but say there was only one patient in the room at the time.
