Officials say a fire in the main switch of the electrical panel has shut off all power at Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital in Sheet Harbour, N.S.
Due to the fire, the hospital is not able to access the back-up generator at this time.
The Nova Scotia Health Authority says the hospital is unable to provide health services until power has been restored. So far, there is no timeline for when repairs will be complete.
Four patients have been moved to Harbourview Lodge until they can be moved to other facilities.
