A pair in their 20s are fighting for their lives in hospital after a caravan caught alight in Queensland.
The man, 22, and woman, 20, who is believed to be pregnant, escaped the red-hot inferno in Logan Central, south of Brisbane, on Monday night.
Queensland Ambulance Service medical director, Steven Rashford said paramedics arrived at the Wilbur St address around 11pm to find the pair with sixjmtzywgnificant injuries.
“Two patients in their 20S required significant resuscitation,” Dr Rashford said.
The pair were transported to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital suffering severe burn wounds.
Neighbour Dennis Birt told reporters that he woke up to a cry for help just after 11pm on Monday night.
“By the time I went to my back door I could feel the heat from their caravan which was on fire,” he said.
Mr Birt said the “clearly pregnant” woman ran across the road screaming to alert neighbours of the incident.
“By that stage she was basically naked and just wearing her underwear, she was clearly pregnant.”
Mr Birt said his main concern was the pair’s health and wellbeing.
Police are looking into whether an electric scooter on charge sparked the blaze.
A crime scene has been established and investigations are ongoing.
