A fire broke out in a residential building in the Jewish Quarter of the old city of Jerusalem.

United Hatzalah volunteer EMT Chaim Bukachin who was one of the first responders at the scene relayed: “Together with other EMS personnel I treated a man, a woman, and three children, who were all in light condition due to suffering from smoke inhalation. Firefighters were active at the scene putting out the blaze. The rest of the residents of the building, many of whom are elderly or children, all managed to exit the smoke-engulfed building safely and quickly. Thus far, no other injuries have been reported.”
