This morning, the fire alarm within Doncaster Royal Infirmary’s D-Block and West Ward Block were triggered just before 8am.
Following response and investigation by South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue, these were both found to be false alarms. We believe that the issues were caused by the overuse of deodorant.
Whilst we appreciate the attempts of visitors to smell wonderful whilst on site, we must ask that individuals refrain from spraying deodorant near smoke detectors, or until a thick fog appears.
We share our thanks with those affected by the alarms, and we apologise for any inconvenience and distress this may have caused.
Please attend any appointments as usual.
