Elderly man killed in fire in Citrus Road in Isipingo
An elderly man was killed earlier this afternoon when a fire broke out at a block of flats in Citrus Road in Isipingo, KZN.

The 76-year-old man sustained 100% burns over his entire body and was unfortunately declared dead in scene.
ER24 along with fire and rescue services were in scene to assist in extinguishing the fire and help with any other emergencies if needed. No other injuries were sustained during the incident.
