Many teams from the Samaria Regional Station are working tonight (Saturday) on a fire that broke out in a five-story residential building in the Haredi city of Emanuel.
Upon arrival at the scene, the crews detected heavy smoke rising from the stairwell as a result of a fire in the carriage room and worked to extinguish the fire, clear the smoke, and search for trapped people.
Rabbi Reshef Ofir Levy, commander of the shift: "Following the heavy smoke rising up the building, I ordered all residents in the building to lock themselves in their apartments until full control is achieved.
