Fire @ the Hospital

[DUNJA WRBKA]

Today I had a brief memory of a fire that broke out at the Hospital.  Remember that it was quite a big fire.  Exact dates and details I don't really remember.  Just have a faint memory that we went to look at it after school.
Anyone else remember this?

Also got a faint memory, was'nt it at the back near the kitchen somewhere?

[Carl Wrbka]

Yea somewher near the back. I remember seeing the nurses and admin staff throwing stuff (not patients) out of the windows to try and save as much as they could.

I just remember the car that caught alight and burnt out in the parking area behind the maternity ward. Somewhere in '85, feb?

I remember the bus catching fire.... the one with the red seats and the engine at the back.....
