On receiving the report that a fire had broken out yesterday on the 30th floor of the building, four MICU’s, six ambulances, command vehicles and a special rescue jeep of MDA were rushed to the scene, ready to deal with any eventuality.
MDA’s Director General immediately ordered that the level of alert in the Dan Region be raised to Level C (the highest possible) and, in the entire central region, that it be raised to Level B.
MDA teams who arrived on the scene joined Fire Brigade personnel in searching the building, with MDA commanders taking control of the incident from close-up. MDA’s Director-General was also present to ensure that all necessary procedures were carried out correctly.
The four people, who were treated at the scene by MDA for smoke inhalation, did not need to be taken to hospital.
MDA Director General, Eli Bin said that, “the fire was an event from which we can learn a lot from every point of view in terms of rescue and treatment of victims. MDA personnel were forced to work under very difficult conditions in a burning building in which the systems had broken down, including the water system. I am pleased at the way MDA personnel worked swiftly, efficiently and responsibly".
