CPD puts out fire in apartment at St George's Park complex
An apartment block in St Julian’s was temporarily evacuated and two residents treated for smoke inhalation following a fire inside a fourth-floor bedroom on Saturday afternoon.
Firefighters from the Civil Protection Department’s fire stations 4 and 11 were called to the St George’s Park apartment complex following reports of a structural fire.
They traced the flames to a fourth-floor bedroom and quickly brought it under control using four fire pumps and one turntable ladder.
“As a precautionary measure, a full evacuation of the building was carried out to ensure the safety of all occupants,” the CPD said in a statement.
“Two casualties suffering from smoke inhalation were treated by a medical team from the Emergency Department of the Mater Dei Hospital and were subsequently discharged at the scene.”
Police officers assisted the CPD in the evacuation of the building.
