At 4:45 pm Wednesday, Contra Costa County firefighters responded to the 4th floor of Sutter Delta Medical Center in Antioch for a report of a patient who set a fire.
Upon arrival, firefighters located a bed that was set on fire with a lighter by a subject. Firefighters reported that Sutter Delta staff’s quick response prevented the fire from spreading and creating a larger incident.
The subject was taken into custody by Antioch Police and was going to be transferred to County Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
No further information was released about the damage or incident.

Terrific! Now, you can’t even go to a hospital for fear that some bozo will set the place on fire. How did he get a lighter? Aren’t those taken away from them when they are admitted?
Another venue to worry about. When will this end? Bums starting fires! Crazy guy lights hospital bed!
Coo coo for Cocoa Puffs!
Have you ever been to a hospital,,that ask why are you there and for i.d. and insurance card.. do they ask if you have a lighter on you nope basically you can take a gun into the emergency room..
I don’t know why they though a psyche evaluation was necessary. Doesn’t everybody do this?
