EDDINGTON, Maine (AP) Officials say a 12-year-old girl was severely burned when her clothes caught fire as a brush fire was being burned in her yard in Eddington.
The girl, who suffered burns to her face, neck and chest, was taken Monday to Eastern Maine Medical Center and then transported via LifeFlight to Shriner’s Hospital in Boston.
Investigators believe the victim poured a flammable liquid onto the fire as she and her older sister tended the blaze.
Her name wasn’t released, and her condition wasn’t immediately known.
