TWO people who became trapped in a second floor apartment fire in Limerick have been taken to hospital after firefighters from the Limerick City Fire and Rescue took them out from the blaze this Saturday night.
Shortly after 10pm, two units from the Limerick City Fire and Rescue, together with the aerial platform unit, were called to a fire at an apartment of Catherine Street.
On arrival, the crews found that the apartment had filled with smoke trapping the two inside.
Equipped with specialist breathing apparatus units, two teams of firefighters entered the burning building and quickly located a man and a woman on the second floor.
The woman was found to be unconscious and both were evacuated and transferred to awaiting emergency paramedics.
The two people have been brought to University Hospital Limerick where their condition is unknown at present.
