In the Pavlohrad district, medical professionals rescued a 93-year-old pensioner who narrowly escaped being burned alive, reports "Vidomo," citing the director of the regional center for emergency medicine Radyi Shevchenko.

According to him, a call was received at the dispatch center: Fire in the village of Pokrovske. An emergency team from the Pokrovskaya substation was dispatched to the scene. It was determined that the 93-year-old woman, who was bedridden, had used an electric heater to warm her home, which likely caused the fire. The fire was extinguished by the personnel of the State Emergency Service who were on site.

"Due to her limited mobility, the woman sustained severe and extensive burns. Emergency medical assistance was promptly initiated: shock therapy, pain relief, burn dressings, and oxygen support. The victim was transported to the KP "Pokrovskaya CRB" PSM, where surgical doctors continued to provide medical care to stabilize her condition. For further treatment, the victim was transferred to the specialized burn unit of the KNP "City Clinical Hospital No. 16" in Dnipro," noted Shevchenko.
