Dubi Maisel, a United Hatzalah paramedic, said at the end of the incident: "When I arrived at the scene, smoke was still rising from the building. The victims, who apparently got out on their own, suffered from burns and smoke inhalation. I and other paramedics provided first aid to the victims, and then they were evacuated to hospitals.
