A young boy seriously injured in an Etobicoke fire on Tuesday has a long road to recovery.
Eleven-year-old Isaiah was one of three children rescued from a second-floor unit at 230 Lake Promenade, near Lake Shore Boulevard and Long Branch Avenue.
He suffered serious burns to 30 per cent of his body.
“His feet are pretty much done for. His back is burned, his face, his arm and his lower half,” Maria Valencia, a close friend of the family, told CityNews.
Two other children, 15-month-old Zion and seven-year-old Xavier were both treated for smoke inhalation.
On Facebook, the children’s mother Crystal posted an update on Isaiah’s condition Wednesday.
“My baby Isaiah is still in critical condition. No changes. He has a fever. They’re putting a cooling blanket on him,” the post read.
The family said they would like to connect with the police officer who was first on scene and ran into the building to pull Isaiah from the fire.
There has been no word on what caused the fire. The investigation is ongoing.
