A woman, her two small children and two elderly residents were helped to safety by a San Mateo County sheriff’s deputy after a three-alarm fire at an apartment complex at 1007 Hemlock Ave., in Millbrae Monday afternoon, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
At about 12:36 p.m., the Central County Fire Department and deputies from the Millbrae Police Bureau of the Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the scene of a structure fire. During the evacuation, Deputy Edgar Manilla assisted the resident with her two small children, then returned to help two elderly residents in escaping and remained at the complex to help. Deputy Manilla was later transported to Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame for smoke inhalation, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
