  "account": "A fire broke out at an aged care facility in North Adelaide today, resulting in one person being taken to the hospital. At around 12:30pm, 34 firefighters from 12 appliances rushed to the blaze at Helping Hand on Buxton Street. MFS spokeswoman Nicolle Bradley revealed that the fire was quickly contained by the emergency crews on the ground floor, with crews bringing it under control within 15 minutes. Ms Bradley reported that multiple calls were made to Triple Zero (000) regarding the fire. The incident caused smoke damage to adjacent levels, which is limited to a local alarm not monitored by the MFS. Multiple people were evacuated from the building during the blaze, with one individual self-evacuating and subsequently transported to the hospital due to a head laceration. Investigators are currently probing the cause of the fire, and the estimated damage has been estimated to be around $200,000.",
