Three incidents of fire were reported in Nungambakkam, Madhavaram and Kelambakkam on Friday night and Saturday.
In Kelambakkam, a fire at a private hospital gutted medicines and medical equipment at 4.15am on Saturday morning. Fire was spotted at the first floor of a pharmacy and the security guard informed police and fire and rescue services personnel.
“The fire started at the first floor of the building where the hospital is located and spread to the second floor. Three fire tenders from Siruseri, Maraimalai Nagar and Thirukazhukundram were pressed into service,” said a fire officer.
Firefighters struggled for more than two hours to douse the fire, said a police officer. The private hospital has four different buildings.
Preliminary investigations revealed that staff spotted smoke emanating from an air conditioner at the pharmacy and alerted the security personnel, but soon the blaze erupted.
“Around 25 patients from the second and the first floor adjacent to the pharmacy were shifted immediately to safety by the hospital management,” said the police officer.
The fire was put out by 6am with the help of more than 10 fire fighters, sources said. Kelambakkam police registered a case and are estimating the loss of goods in the accident.
In another fire accident at Nungambakkam on Friday, two doll-making units and sales showroom went up in flames around 11pm. At least five fire tenders were pressed into the service. No one was injured in the accident.
In yet another accident, imported sports goods worth ₹2 crore kept at a godown in Madhavaram were gutted on Saturday morning.
Five fire tenders took about three hours to douse the fire. No one was injured in the accident.
