The children were referred to the city’s Emergency Unit (UPA), but the oldest, who had 90% of his body burned, did not resist the injuries.

The health of the baby, who had 80% of his body hit by the flames, is considered serious. A corporate plane heads to a soccer field near the UPA to transfer the victim. The mother also needed to be rescued by helicopter and was sent to the Hospital de Pronto Socorro João XXIII, in the capital.
