XENIA, Ohio — A fire that forced the evacuation of Greene Memorial Hospital in this southwest Ohio city has been labeled suspicious, an investigator said on Thursday.

        “There were two different points of origin within a room on the fourth floor,” said Xenia police Detective Gary Johnson. “But we've drawn no final conclusion.”

        About 70 patients were in the four-story hospital when the fire broke out on the top floor Wednesday.

        There were no injuries.

        The fourth floor houses an equipment-filled mechanical room and sleeping quarters for medical residents who work in the intensive-care unit.

        The fourth floor sustained fire damage and the third floor was damaged by smoke and water.

        Hospital spokeswoman Gretchen Rives said the evacuated patients, who were moved to nearby hospitals and nursing homes, were expected to begin returning to Greene Memorial later Thursday.

        Xenia, the county seat of Greene County, is about 15 miles east of Dayton.
