Kiryat Fire Department spokesman Michael Nasimi said that fortunately there were no casualties in the incident. The apartment itself was not significantly damaged from the inside, and the apartments above and to the sides were not damaged either. Firefighters arrived at the scene and the fire was extinguished. The incident ended without any damage to life or property beyond the air conditioner itself, an outcome that Masimi described as very fortunate considering the explosion that occurred during the fire and the proximity of the apartments in the building.
