A woman in her 60s, who used a wheelchair, died in a house fire that broke out Sunday morning, October 11, in the Masada local council in the Golan Heights. The woman was unable to evacuate the burning building on her own. Firefighters discovered her inside and carried her out, but resuscitation efforts by Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics were unsuccessful, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. The initial report of the fire reached MDA's Yarden district dispatch at 10:03 AM. An investigation into the cause of the blaze has been launched. Fire and rescue services stated that crews searched the building for individuals unable to escape and found the woman unconscious, whom they removed and handed over to medical personnel. This incident follows a fire on October 1st in Bnei Brak, where 24 residents of a nursing home were affected by a blaze on the ground floor. In that incident, two residents were hospitalized in serious condition, four in moderate, and 18 in mild, with approximately 40 people evacuated from the building.
