Woman saved by passerby from Glenelg East unit blaze
An elderly woman has been rescued from a fire in a unit at Glenelg East in Adelaide by a person passing the scene.
The Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) said its crews responded to a triple-0 call received about 7:50pm (ACDT).
Firefighters arrived at the unit in Wyatt Street to find the occupant had been saved from the flames by a passerby.
The woman was treated by ambulance officers at the scene for the effects of smoke inhalation.
Eighteen firefighters from four units responded to the emergency call and the MFS said the blaze was confined to the kitchen.
The damage bill was estimated at $15,000 and food left on a stove was blamed for starting the fire.
