Residents of 20 apartments evacuated
Firemen said no one was injured, although smoke filled parts of the building.
The brick hospital was originally built with concrete floors and walls, a factor in keeping fire from spreading.
It was not learned what started the apartment fire or an estimate of damage. Heavy water damage to several apartments was reported.
