BMP hospital lost power, generator didn’t kick in

The Brome-Missisquoi Perkins Hospital in Cowansville lost power yesterday morning at around 8 a.m. While electricity came back on at around 9:30 a.m. the emergency generator that should normally kick in did not start. As a precaution, ambulances yesterday were detoured to the Granby hospital. Some patients, mainly those requiring a respirator or other life-saving equipment but stable enough to travel, were also moved while specialists investigate what caused the outage and the issue with the generator.
