\u201cJames is now in ICU with severe burns across his body and deep cuts to his arms. Zayne is also in ICU with third-degree burns to his face, hands, and feet he is in a critical condition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rochelle and Izaiah suffered third-degree burns but are in a stable condition, while their daughter Ava-Leigh only had minor burns to her face and is recovering with family.<\/p>\n
Turetahi said to Stuff that the fire started from an oil heater shared by Zane and Izaiah, because a blanket was too close to it and caught alight.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Izaiah] woke his brother up who was under the blanket that was on fire and they were screaming, screaming and trying to pull the door open, but it wouldn\u2019t open.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said Bell couldn\u2019t make his way into the room through the door, so had to smash in the bedroom window from outside, which severed an artery in his arm.<\/p>\n
Turetahi said she believes the oxygen flowing into the room caused the flames to become \u201chumungous\u201d and set the rest of the house on fire.<\/p>\n
Bell and his son Zayne have already had multiple surgeries and are scheduled for more, with particular concern by doctors for the burns on Bell\u2019s chest and the severed artery.<\/p>\n
There are also concerns about the burns to Zayne\u2019s hands and face, with a fourth surgery scheduled for him on Saturday at the Melbourne Royal Children\u2019s Hospital, Turehati told Stuff.<\/p>\n
“This young family has lost their home, their belongings, and their sense of safety all in a single night,” said Turehati. \u201cDoctors have said it will be a long and painful road to recovery for all of them, both physically and emotionally.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donations to the GoFundMe page have reached nearly $140,000 and will go towards medical expenses, care and rehabilitation and replacing items lost in the fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cJames is now in ICU with severe burns across his body and deep cuts to his arms.
