The cause of a fire which led to a man being airlifted to hospital with serious injuries has been confirmed. The incident occurred on Monday evening at a residential building in the heart of the city. The fire broke out on the third floor of the building, causing panic and chaos among the residents.

According to the fire department, the cause of the fire was determined to be a faulty electrical wiring in one of the apartments. The wiring had been neglected for a long time and had become a ticking time bomb, waiting to cause havoc. The fire quickly spread to other parts of the building, trapping the residents inside.

The fire department was immediately alerted and they arrived at the scene within minutes. They quickly sprang into action, evacuating the residents and trying to contain the fire. However, due to the intensity of the fire and the lack of proper fire safety measures in the building, it took them several hours to bring the fire under control.

During the rescue operation, one man was found unconscious on the third floor. He was immediately rushed to the hospital by the fire department’s ambulance. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he had to be airlifted to a specialized hospital for further treatment. The man, who has been identified as Mr. John Smith, is currently in critical condition and is being closely monitored by the medical team.

The incident has left the residents of the building in a state of shock and disbelief. Many of them have lost their homes and belongings in the fire. The building has also suffered extensive damage, making it uninhabitable for the time being. The residents have been temporarily relocated to a nearby community center, where they are being provided with food, shelter, and other basic necessities.

The fire department has issued a statement urging people to regularly check their electrical wiring and to report any faults or damages immediately. They have also emphasized the importance of having proper fire safety measures in place, such as fire extinguishers and smoke detectors, to prevent such incidents from occurring.

The incident has also raised concerns about the safety standards of residential buildings in the city. The authorities have promised to conduct a thorough investigation and take necessary actions to ensure the safety of the residents.

Despite the unfortunate incident, the community has come together to support the affected residents. Many have volunteered to donate clothes, food, and other essential items to help them get back on their feet. The spirit of unity and compassion shown by the community is truly heartwarming and serves as a reminder that in times of crisis, we are all in this together.

We hope that Mr. John Smith makes a speedy recovery and that the affected residents are able to rebuild their lives soon.
