Three days after a fire broke out at the site of the Jefferson Regional Specialty Hospital being constructed at White Hall, Brian Thomas, the CEO of Jefferson Regional told Deltaplex News how the fire got started.

Appearing on the Oldies 1013 morning show, Thomas said this.

Thomas said there was nothing in the building to flare up with the exception of the rooftop panels and described the fire as “quite a site.”

Morning show host Greg Horne asked Thomas if it was too early to know how long construction will be delayed and Thomas responded this way.

Thomas also thanked first responders, particularly firefighters from White Hall and Pine Bluff for their actions Tuesday.
