Report of Smoke; INC#1496; 06:57PM; 4929 N Van Nuys Bl; https://bit.ly/3uabZAX; Sherman Oaks; A patient reportedly lit Emergency Room bedding on fire, which was extinguished prior to LAFD arrival. The burnt bed was moved outside, and smoke present *in the Emergency Room ONLY* on firefighter arrival, has been cleared with the use of LAFD ventilation fans. There was no LAFD rescue or medical support required for any patient or staff member. Thanks to quick early intervention by hospital staff, all Emergency Room patients were kept safe, and have been rehoused in that facility to continue on-site care. Pursuant to protocol, LAPD was requested and an LAFD Investigator has been assigned.
