Durban – Several people, including a year-old baby, were rescued from their Durban homes early on Monday after flash floods, KwaZulu-Natal paramedics said.
Families in four homes on Randles Road were stuck in waist-deep water after a heavy downfall, Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said.
“At around 01:00, Netcare 911 paramedics, their rescue team as well as the SAPS search and rescue were called to the four houses that had flooded to waist deep in the heavy rain.
“Rescue personnel assisted an elderly lady and a baby less than one year to safety. Both were treated for the cold and the elderly patient had to be treated for an asthma attack.”
The patients did not want hospital treatment.
