A female sustained some injuries this afternoon after a fire broke out at her house in Randburg.
The cause of the incident is unclear at this stage, but a ER24 paramedic noticed the smoke from the building when driving past. The paramedic then investigated the smoke and discovered that a flat was on fire.
Concerned bystanders and onlookers were attempting to extinguish a gas cylinder engulfed in flames. Upon investigating the inside of the apartment the paramedic discovered that a female resident, believed to be aged in her 50′s, was entrapped in the building.
Paramedics escorted the lady from the house before treating her for burns to her hands as well as for smoke inhalation. She was later transported to a nearby medical facility for further treatment.
