An accident during a planned power outage prompted the fire department to respond to The Moncton Hospital earlier today.
Horizon Health spokesperson Stephanie Neilson-Levesque is reassuring the public that patient care was not, and has not been affected.
She believes a switch blew during the planned outage, and they were partly running on auxiliary power for a short time this morning.
Neilson-Levesque says as of approximately 8:30, power has been fully restored, and hospital operations are back to normal.
