Emergency responders arrived to find the structure engulfed, with no survivors. Neighbors helped fight the blaze with buckets of water, but access issues in the informal settlement hampered efforts. This tragedy follows a similar fire just two weeks prior that killed four-month-old twins. Authorities are sounding the alarm: never leave children unattended, especially near heat or flames, and ensure escape plans are in place.
