Police identified the boy as Gerry Gillas. His mother, Cherilyn, was suffered a third-degree burn.
The La Paz Municipal Police Office reported that the fire broke out at around 1:30 a.m.
Initial investigations showed that the fire was caused by a gas lamp at the Gillas family’s house. The lamp fell down on the wooden floor in a room where the boy and his parents are sleeping.
The fire quickly consumed the Gillas family’s house. It also spread and damaged a neighbor’s house.
