Life Flight transported a ten year old boy to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston earlier this evening after he sustained serious burn injuries in a fire accident in Jefferson.
According to authorities, the boy was attending a camp fire near Fox Road when, for some unknown reason, he threw an amount of gasoline onto the flames sometime around 7 p.m. The gasoline ignited a flash fire that significantly burned the boy’s face, chest, hands and back.
As of this posting there is no word on the boy’s condition although he is reported to be breathing on his own. His identity has not been released. The Lincoln County News will follow with a complete report here and in the next print edition.
