Kent Hospital on backup power; Buttonwoods area without electricity

WARWICK: Kent Hospital is operating on backup generator power, with incoming ambulances being diverted to other hospitals, and the Buttonwoods section is without electricity this afternoon, apparently due to downed power lines.


-- Journal staff writer Daniel Barbarisi

2:30 p.m. -- Kent Hospital in Warwick has lost main power and is on backup generator power. They are diverting incoming ambulances to other area hospitals, according to Public Relations Director Brian Wallin. While they are not accepting new patients, no one now hospitalized has been adversely affected, Wallin said.


2:15 p.m. -- Power has failed in the Buttonwoods section of Warwick in the area of Buttonwoods Avenue and Route 113, potentially because of power lines down at a substation by Centreville Road and Toll Gate Road, according to Capt. Matthew Costello of the Warwick Police.
