Middle-aged Ren Chonglin and his wife Mao Lijun were killed in the fire, and their 6-year-old son was severely burned. Another couple, Liu and his wife, were slightly injured.
The fire broke out in second-floor room in the two-story house on Tiantong'an Road where the couple and their six-year-old child lived.

Firefighters extinguished the blaze after 20 minutes.
The injured couple and the child were taken to Ruijin Hospital where the boy remains in a critical condition.
The fire is being investigated.
