At 10:00 pm on 12 July, 2018, a young boy died in a summer household fire that broke out in Nanjing’s Jiangbei New Area.

The apartment, which is in the Panjin Garden complex, was already up in flames by the time local resident, Mr. Li, shouted to his wife to run out of the building as, “The fire at that time was indeed very big”.

Nearby residents claim that the house belonged to a non-local Nanjing man, who lived there with his wife, two children and their grandparents. Locals claim that when the fire broke out, the father was on a business trip in Shanghai, reports Jiangsu Sina.

The mother was able to save one son after running out of the house, however tragically, the other 13-year-old son was trapped in the household fire where he died.

It has been reported that Nanjing fire and rescue arrived on the scene shortly after the household fire had broken out, at which time the fire had sealed the doors shut, trapping the boy and preventing rescuers from getting in.

The tragedy happened two days prior to a fire prevention and safety awareness day for school children held by the Huai’an City Hongze public security bureau, during the school’s summer holidays, revealed State news agency Xinhua.

Investigations into the actual cause of the fire are still underway.
