Two minors died on the afternoon of this Monday, December 27, in Loja in a fire in a house.

The minors of 4 and 6 years of age have died of asphyxiation, according to the first data from the authorities. The children were taken to the Isidro Ayora hospital, but despite the efforts of the doctors, only a 9-year-old girl was saved.

The structural fire was apparently caused by the explosion of a gas cylinder in a house located in the CapulĂ­-Loma neighborhood.

According to the report of the members of the Fire Brigade who traveled to the site, the structural fire registered in a house of mixed construction was controlled.

One of the rooms was consumed in its entirety, in addition there were several effects on the infrastructure of the home.

“Unfortunately, three minors have been spending the night in a room, of which two died,” said one of the police officers who entered the scene.

Neighbors in the sector were dismayed by the tragedy. Some believe that firefighters and health personnel were able to arrive faster to attend to the emergency. (I)
