The fire broke out shortly after 4 p.m., and reinforced firefighting crews and ambulances rushed to the scene to transport two people to the hospital with serious injuries. Operations are continuing at the scene with 24 firefighters, 7 vehicles, and a specialized aerial ladder truck.
According to initial reports from ERT, the two residents of the two-story building were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. The wife suffered fractures after jumping from the balcony, while the husband was treated for smoke inhalation and burns.
A firefighter and a volunteer firefighter were withdrawn from the firefighting efforts due to the intense heat and heavy smoke.
