Terrifying- I hope the hospital had been fully evacuated?
Thankfully, hospital administration had a definitive emergency plan should fire break out along what they considered critical evacuation routes (Pentz road being one of them.) It triggered a full and complete evacuation of all patients from the hospital (many transported in the cars of employees to Enloe (Chico) & Oroville Hospitals.)
Thousands waited for evacuation orders to come through, and many, well, too many, waited too long to evacuate, or worse, spent too long packing belongings before evacuating. The hospital evacuating should have been a key to residents to get out of town immediately, with whatever was easily at hand.
