He\nwas miraculously caught by waiting family members, who are now counting their\nblessings, despite incurring some 12 million dollars in losses as a result of\nthe blaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information reaching the Western Mirror is that the fire started as a result of the infant\ngetting a hold of a lighter. He was reportedly under a bed playing with the\nfire-producing device, when things went awry, causing a fire that rapidly\nspread throughout the dwelling. The flames quickly separated the other\noccupants in the house from the young child, which later resulted in the\nnail-biting ordeal of catching the unconscious infant\u2019s body from a window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the infant being administered CPR and rushed to the\nhospital, the signs are promising that he has not sustained any major injury,\nmuch to the relief of family members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FIRE QUELLED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the incident which started some minutes after seven that\nSunday, the Fire Brigade was quick on the scene, after reporting that they\nreceived a call that a building was on fire in that area. They responded with\ntwo units and an ambulance and upon their arrival, they observed a section of\nthe upper floor of the building ablaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An operation was quickly started and two jets were used to\ncontain the blaze, preventing it from spreading to the other over 30 rooms of\nthe family-shared concrete dwelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is uncertain if the house was insured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fire Brigade continues its investigation into the\nmatter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>SB<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, January 19, as family members of a Rosemount Gardens home watched all their belongings go up in flames, their most prized possession, a three-year-old boy, was still stuck on the second floor of the rapidly burning building.
