Man Critical after House Fire
A 30 year old man is in a critical condition in the Vereeniging Medi Clinic after his house was deliberately set alight by unknown men. The man explained to ER24 Emergency Services - who arrived first on scene - that his family was out on a family gathering when an unknown amount of men entered his house and pushed him into a room in his house. They did not say anything.
He said he doesn't know what exactly and why it happened. He was locked in the room and the next moment everything was in flames. When ER24 arrived on the scene the house was already well alight and completely engulfed in flames. The man was helped by bystanders to the ambulance. He got out via one of the doors that burnt down.
He sustained inhalation burns and multiple serious burns to his body. He received emergency treatment on scene by paramedics and was rushed to the Vereeniging Medi Clinic for further treatment.
At this stage it is unclear why the men set the house alight and if anything was taken from the house.
The man is being admitted in the hospital for further care. The house is completely destroyed.
The incident occurred at approximately 20h30 on 30 December 2006.
