'Possible that not all patients will survive'
Ministry of Health spokesman Pete Watson said earlier on Tuesday that 27 people suffered burns to more than 30% of their body.
Others suffered inhalation burns.
Mr Watson said all patients were receiving care at the highest level but that it was possible that "not all" of them would survive.
He added that the burns unit at Middlemore Hospital in Auckland had received "a year's worth of work in one day".
