A rural family in Matanzas, Cuba, suffered a devastating house fire, according to social media reports. The extent of any injuries remains unclear, though initial reports suggest there were none.

"This is terrible, they lost their home. This happened in Matanzas, Cuba. I hope someone who sees this video can help them," wrote the administrator of the Facebook page "Pesca en Miami," who frequently organizes aid campaigns for Cuban residents from the United States.

The source, who tagged Limay Blanco and the Cuban Iron Man in the post, did not provide further details about the fire's circumstances or its exact location. A short video clip captured the moment the modest home was engulfed in flames.

Photos shared later showed the aftermath, with the home reduced to ashes. The post, also shared by digital creator Juan Echezábal on La Tijera, received numerous comments confirming the incident and expressing sympathy for the family's dire situation.

Community Reactions and Support

A neighbor commented that the fire occurred in "Fruta Selecta," in the Iglesias neighborhood of Matanzas city. For those interested in donating baby clothes or other necessities, the Pesca en Miami administrator asked them to contact 786-685-9365.

As of the publication of this note, no additional details about the unfortunate incident have been released.
