A serious fire broke out in an apartment on the fourth floor of a residential building on Franka Lisice Street in Zadar. A three-year-old child was seriously injured in the accident and is fighting for his life in hospital. According to unofficial information, the child was completely alone in the apartment when the fire broke out.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zadar firefighters received a report of the fire at 7:50 p.m. and immediately headed to the scene with five vehicles. After entering the apartment on the fourth floor, they found that the fire had engulfed the kitchen and living room, and in a room filled with thick smoke they found the seriously injured child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ante Lon\u010dar, shift commander at the Zadar Public Fire Department, described the dramatic moments of the rescue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we arrived at the scene, the kitchen area was engulfed in flames, and the couch was also burning. We found the child inside and handed him over to the Emergency Medical Service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boris Jovi\u0107, commander of the Zadar City Public Fire Department, also spoke about the intervention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Zadar City Public Fire Department received the report of the fire at 7:50 p.m., and the fire that had engulfed two rooms in the apartment was brought under control at around 8:25 p.m.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire, which destroyed two rooms, was brought under control and extinguished shortly afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctors are fighting for the child\u2019s life, emergency transfer to Zagreb planned<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The child was transported by ambulance to Zadar General Hospital, where doctors immediately admitted him to the intensive care unit and intubated him. It was determined that he had suffered severe first- and second-degree burns covering between 40 and 60 percent of his body, as well as inhalation burns caused by breathing in hot air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Nedjeljko Jovi\u0107, assistant director of the Zadar hospital, confirmed the young patient\u2019s serious condition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImmediately upon admission to the hospital, the child was placed in the intensive care unit, where he was intubated. He suffered first- and second-degree burns covering between 40 and 60 percent of his body, as well as inhalation burns caused by breathing in hot air.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Jovi\u0107 said that resuscitation measures were immediately administered and announced a transfer to a specialized facility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe plan is for the child to be transported to the Clinic for Children\u2019s Diseases in Klai\u0107eva in Zagreb once his condition has stabilized. The child is in life-threatening condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klai\u0107eva Hospital in Zagreb is the central national referral center for treating the most severely burned children, and the three-year-old is expected to be transferred there as soon as his condition allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigation underway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The exact cause of the fire in the apartment is not yet known. Police have secured the scene, and all circumstances and details of the accident will be known after the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
