A baby and a young child were among six people rescued on Thursday evening from a residential fire in Migdal HaEmek. The blaze erupted in the stairwell of a four-story building on HaTav Shin Gimel Street, generating thick smoke that quickly spread upward and trapped residents inside their apartments.
Five firefighting teams from the Nof HaGalil station rushed to the scene. Firefighters extinguished the active flames while simultaneously conducting rescue operations to evacuate the trapped occupants from the smoke-filled building.
Medical teams from United Hatzalah treated three casualties at the scene. A 65-year-old woman sustained moderate injuries due to smoke inhalation, while two other individuals suffered mild respiratory distress.
Incident commander Reshef Shay David stated that crews successfully brought the fire under control and conducted thorough searches of all apartments to ensure no other residents remained trapped.
