A 55-year-old man has died and several people were rushed to hospital after fire broke out at a high-rise residential complex in Clayfield, in Brisbane’s inner north.Footage taken from another apartment complex about 7am showed smoke rising from the building.
Queensland Ambulance Service medical director Stephen Rashford said several emergency services crews responded to the blaze, which appeared to have started on the upper levels of the building.“We responded with numerous units to the scene and assessed a total of 13 patients,” he said. “Unfortunately, one patient was deceased at the scene and a small number of patients were transported to hospital in a stable condition.
“We were greatly assisted by the residents of the building, who despite being elderly, were incredibly resilient and worked well with our teams.Investigators were working to determine the cause of the blaze, but a firefighter at the scene told a Nine reporter the fire was believed to have started in a lift in the complex.
