The office told CNBC: "The conclusion(s) of the examination being directed by the Russian specialists into the fire in St Petersburg will help advise our choice with respect to any future utilization of the ventilators." The burst at St George's Hospital in St Petersburg was evidently begun by a short out in a ventilator, Russian news organizations detailed. The fire was immediately extinguished and 150 individuals were cleared from the clinic, the nation's crisis service said. All the patients who kicked the bucket had been on ventilators. "The ventilators are attempting as far as possible. Primer signs are that it was over-burden and burst into flames, and that was the reason," a source at St Petersburg crises division told the Interfax news organization.
