With the help of the family, we rescued 11 people from there, a one-year-old baby suffering from severe burns was found unconscious and we had to call her death.” “10 of the family members we rescued were fully conscious and were suffering from smoke inhalation and panic attacks, we gave them medical attention and brought them to the hospital in light condition,” he added.
