The life of a family that lights a fire in their garden for fun has changed completely. The explosion of a chemical-filled spray bottle, which was thrown unnoticed into the pile while it was burning, caused serious injuries to 3-year-old Xander and 22-month-old Tanner, who were playing around the fire.
Two brothers were hospitalized in the incident in Melbourne, Australia. After the incident that occurred on June 3, the unfortunate brothers underwent a series of operations. The children suffered extensive burns on their faces, hands and upper chest.
The children’s mother was also injured by the destruction caused by the explosion. A aid campaign was started for the treatment costs of the siblings who were struggling to survive in the intensive care unit.
The children’s aunt, Carli Mathiesen, said the children will need extensive skin vaccinations on their faces and hands and will need long-term rehabilitation to support their physical and mental health.
