SWEETWATER, Tenn. — The Monroe County EMA said it was working on shutting down a malfunctioning generator that is producing a large amount of smoke at Sweetwater Hospital.
Chad Lemming, with Monroe County EMA, said the generator was a "runaway" meaning it won't shut off and is running at full speed.
The generator was not on fire, but some patients were moved to other areas of the hospital due to the smoke, according to officials.
As of 5:10 p.m., Sweetwater Hospital said everything was OK at the hospital, and everything was operating normally.
