An automatic sprinkler system extinguished the blaze by the time fire crews arrived, but one block of the hostel did sustain smoke and water damage.

Three patients were transported to Calvery Hospital by intensive care paramedics in a stable condition.

A fourth person was being assessed for possible smoke inhalation.

Emergency authorities believe the fire started in a motorised mobility chair.
