Staff evacuated 15 patients from an area close to the blaze A fire broke out at a hospital in Derbyshire, closing its emergency department as staff rushed to move patients to safety.
The blaze, which broke out at 2120 BST on Saturday, is thought to have started in a shop in the main entrance to the Chesterfield Royal Hospital.
Staff immediately closed the Accident and Emergency (A&E) department and 15 patients had to be moved.
All emergency admissions are being diverted to other hospitals.
Chesterfield Royal's head of communications, Sarah Turner-Saint, said: "We are asking people not to attend A&E until further notice.
"We are taking advice from the fire service, but at the present time it is not safe to take emergency patients."
She said there were no plans to evacuate any more wards unless the situation worsened.
