  • What a dreadful accident/tragedy for a 7 year old to witness.
    The article states minor injuries but initial information released is not always accurate. If the girl received any burns at all, that is not minor.

  • Hope it soon becomes clear who the 3 people were who got killed.
    Bless this wee 7 year old girl, to be the only survivor of this fatality means there’s a lot of trauma for her to process. Hope she’s surrounded with love and care from family, friends and professionals.
