A structural fire refers to any fire in or on a building or other structure. COO of Medi Response Saul Behrmann said they were the first emergency medical service on the scene once their operations control centre was alerted to the incident.
“Both Medi Response and Fire Operations SA were activated from our bases. Our medical and fire response time was under 10 minutes from activation to arriving on scene,” said Behrmann.
A post by Medi Response on their Facebook page stated that fortunately the fire was under control and the team had transported one patient to a nearby facility.
Behrmann said there were no fatalities on the scene but extensive damage was noted due to the extent of the blaze.
“The source of the fire is not known at this stage. South African Police Service were called out to the scene as the homeowner believes there was foul play at hand. Well done to all teams who acted timeously to help combat the fire.”
