A woman, approximately 60 years old, died Sunday morning after a fire broke out in a two-story private home in the village of Mas'ada in the northern Golan Heights. Firefighters from the regional station in the Galilee-Golan rescued her from the burning structure, finding her unconscious. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene. Upon arrival, firefighters observed smoke emanating from the building and received a report of someone trapped inside. They conducted a rapid search and located the woman, who had inhaled a significant amount of smoke. After extricating her from the building, basic resuscitation efforts were initiated until MDA teams arrived. The MDA team, led by emergency medical technician Ahmed Safadi, confirmed that the woman was without pulse or respiration and, after attempting resuscitation, declared her deceased. Simultaneously, firefighters worked to extinguish the fire, ventilate the smoke, and prevent its spread to adjacent areas, eventually gaining full control of the incident. The Northern District Commander of the Fire and Rescue Services has ordered the establishment of a special investigation team to determine the cause of the fire. Deputy Commander of the Galilee-Golan Region, Eli Mor, emphasized the critical importance of installing smoke detectors in homes to provide early warning and save lives.
