OKLAHOMA CITY -- Three floors of Integris Health Southwest Medical Center were evacuated after a fan coil motor burned out causing smoke on the eighth floor Tuesday afternoon.

Brooke Cayot from Integris said firefighters were called after smoke was spotted coming from a vent on the eighth floor.

Oklahoma City fire officials evacuated the seventh, eighth and ninth floors, which included several patients, as a precaution.

Once fire crews arrived at the hospital the smoke had dissipated.

No visible smoke could be seen from outside the hospital.

The medical center is located at 4401 S. Western Avenue off S.W. 44th Street.
