COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A 10-year-old boy burned in a Colorado Springs house fire is in critical condition at a burn center in Salt Lake City.

The boy, Tyler Sabino, and his father Tom were originally taken to burn units in Denver for treatment following the fire early Monday morning.

Vickie King, a spokeswoman for the University of Utah Health Care Burn Center, said Tyler was in critical condition Tuesday. He was flown there from Denver Monday.

According to Tom's brother-in-law Garrett Medlock, Tom is still at University Hospital in Denver with burns over most of his body, some which 'go 50 percent deep' according to Medlock. Both are heavily sedated.

Medlock said he saw Tom Tuesday, and he appears to be doing better, but a nurse told him he will remain in the hospital 2-3 months.

"The swellings gone down a little. [He's] doing as well I guess as a burn victim can do," Medlock said. "They said it's going to be a long haul for him to stay, they are gonna have a lot of skin graphing to do."

Medlock said he was told Tyler woke up Tuesday and was interacting with others.

"He kind of came to today and was kind of communicating with his mother and the nurses and stuff there, and was told that it's gonna be 6-9 surgeries to start off with, to begin the process with him," Medlock said. "His worst burns were to his hands and to his feet."

Tom's finance, Christina Cordova, said there is a chance Tyler could lose some of his fingers.

"I'm just really worried for him and praying to God that that machine help,s and he won't have to lose his fingers," Cordova said.

Ten other people also escaped from the home, which was left uninhabitable by the fire.

Garrett said Tom came out of the house on fire. His 17-year-old son Sal patted him down to put out the fire but received second-degree burns to his hands. Tom's 16-year-old son Pete had minor burns to his feet. The others were all treated and released.

Neighbor Beth Bidwell said Tyler was burned from head to toe, and his father had gone back into the home to find him.

It appears the fire may have started in the home's garage and spread to the home, but the investigation is still underway.

Arson has been ruled out, and investigators have ruled it accidental.

The Colorado Springs Fire Department said estimated damages are about $225,000.

To make matters worse, the families didn't have renter's insurance or health insurance. The families are now looking to the community for support.

"They all wanna go home but they don't have a home," Cordova said.

Two funds have been set up for the families. One is at Wells Fargo under the name "Sabino Family Fund."

The other is at US Bank under the name "Cesham Fire Relief Fund."

"It's hard to start from scratch and work your way up when you work so hard to get the things that you have," Medlock said.

"We don't have clothes, the kids don't have any socks or shoes, and they don't have anything really fun to play," Cordova said.

Other donations such as clothing and toys can be dropped off at The Springs Vineyard, a church in the 4100 block of Centennial Boulevard.

"I know the community has come together in the past," Medlock said. "You hear it on the news all the time. We're just here trying to get help and support."

The family said the clothing sizes are as follows:

Boys/Men:
32/34

40/36
3T
16 Boys
10 1/2 Shoes
