Ms. Nestora was also taken to the hospital, who allegedly tried to put out the fire in her car herself, resulting in burns to her hands. She then tried to get her mother out of the apartment building, who is also being treated at Hippocrates Hospital. Information indicates that Ms. Nestora's mother is being treated intubated in the ICU. Her father developed respiratory problems.
