FALMOUTH HOSPITAL MRI TRAILER In the event of a fire in the MRI trailer at Falmouth Hospital, there are several key points to be aware of: 1. APPROACH: Although a trailer, the MRI is now at Falmouth Hospital on a permanent basis. Best access is by utilizing loading dock driveway off of Ter Huen Dr and bearing to the right. There is a hydrant on the L hand side just before the trailer. 2. ELECRICAL SHUTOFF: Large breaker located on pole on the L side of the trailer. Also a red emergency shutoff on wall just inside trailer. SECURING ELECTRICITY TO THE TRAILER DOES NOT DEMAGNETIZE THE MAGNET!!!!!!! 3. DEMAGNETIZING THE MAGNET: The only way to demagnetize the magnet is to “quench” the system by utilizing a red emergency button located INSIDE the room with the device. This dumps a large amount of helium into the environment. This is done as a last resort, and CANNOT be done by anyone wearing anything metallic. Under fire conditions, NO firefighters should enter the room with the magnet. 4. The trailer has an emergency generator that does NOT start automatically when the power is secured. There are approx 50 gals of diesel fuel on trailer for the emergency generator
