The father provided first aid before taking her to hospital. Charlotte Rose-Ann Hill suffered significant burns to her face and hands. Bianca Hill then arrived and helped transfer her cousin to a specialist burns unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cI actually jumped in the ambulance with her and she was in so much agony,\u201d Bianca told news.com.au. \u201cWatching someone that you love suffer like that \u2026 it seriously broke me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThankfully her children were not harmed because they were in the backyard at the time. They were so brave and so heroic in those moments,\u201d Bianca Hill told the news outlet.<\/p>\n
At first there were positive signs after she survived an initial operation and her family were hopeful as she appeared to be recovering, Bianca Hill wrote on fundraising site GoFundMe. She was alert and speaking with her children by phone.<\/p>\n

However, the family later received devastating news.<\/p>\n
\u201cI received the worst phone call you can get,\u201d Bianca Hill said.<\/p>\n
She said the mother-of-two was found unresponsive by hospital staff and later died from complications related to her injuries on July 10.<\/p>\n
Her brother, Max Hill, posted a tribute on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cared so much for everyone and never expected anything in return. You were a strong and kind individual. Thankyou for being a great aunty to Kai and Teo. We love and miss you. Rest peacefully you are forever in our hearts,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
Bianca Hill said the loss was especially painful because Charlotte Rose-Ann Hill witnessed the death of her own mother as a child, news.com.au reported. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe just never ever wanted her children to have to go through the same traumatic pain that loss brought her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201c[He] used his jacket to try and put out the fire on his mum.\u201d Charlotte Rose-Ann Hill died…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":537875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1081,74,32322,16372,51003,1061,5232,6179,2079,43630,2082,42,189,78,3375,6805,6178,43,4062,2848,1962,43211,1734,40,38,41,39,12628,10140,28355],"class_list":["post-537874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-accident","tag-after","tag-backyard","tag-barbecue","tag-burns","tag-children","tag-create","tag-died","tag-fire","tag-flow","tag-for","tag-headlines","tag-holiday","tag-in","tag-killed","tag-memory","tag-mother","tag-news","tag-school","tag-severe","tag-special","tag-suffering","tag-sydney","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-tragedy","tag-tributes","tag-trying"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=537874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/537875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=537874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=537874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
