A father and his 14-year-old son died in a house fire in Pavas, Costa Rica, after neighbors were unable to help extinguish the blaze. The victims, Eduardo Francisco Pérez Badilla and his son, desperately requested water from neighbors as the fire spread. Tragically, no water was available in the area during nighttime hours, hindering any attempt at assistance. The national water utility, AyA, has announced it will address the issues causing the nighttime water supply problems in Pavas. The lack of water access in the district contributed to the inability to combat the fire effectively. The incident highlights critical infrastructure deficiencies and the urgent need for consistent water access for residents. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire and the specific reasons for the nighttime water shortage.
