Praslin Fire Tragedy Leaves Community Devastated as Young Child Loses Life in Heartbreaking Blaze

Incident Overview

The Praslin fire tragedy is believed to have started when an unattended pan of boiling seamoss was left on the stove, eventually sparking the blaze. According to reports, the child was asleep at the time the fire broke out. The child’s great-grandmother had reportedly left the house with the child’s twin sibling and older sister, leaving the young one alone inside the wooden structure. The decision to leave the child unattended, even for a brief moment, resulted in a heartbreaking loss that has deeply affected the family and the community.

Emergency Response

Neighbors first noticed the flames rapidly engulfing the wooden house and immediately raised the alarm. The Micoud Fire Station received the emergency call at approximately 12:47 p.m. Firefighters responded swiftly but arrived to find the home already fully engulfed by flames. It took the fire brigade about an hour and a half to extinguish the fire and search through the debris, where they ultimately found the charred remains of the child.
