Flood Hits I. Falls Hospital


Rainy Lake Medical Centre is cleaning up after a water break forced the International Falls hospital to cancel much of its in-patient services and transfer patients to other nearby hospitals.

Executive Director Brian Long says last night's break left nearly 7 inches of water on the facilities lower floor.

Long says the hospitals emergency room is still functional, but it could be later today or tomorrow before they can determine when other services can resume.
