LEBANON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A two-year-old girl is being treated at a Boston hospital for serious burn injuries after she accidentally fell into a fire pit Sunday morning in Lebanon.
The Lebanon Rescue Department says it was called to Flat Rock Bridge Family Resort in Lebanon just before 6:30 a.m. Sunday. When rescue officials arrived on scene, they found a girl with serious burns and called in a medical helicopter to transport her to Boston.
The State Fire Marshal's office is investigating the incident. They say it appears to be an accident and that the child was outside playing with siblings and family when she accidentally fell backwards into the fire pit which had hot coals in it.
Investigators say family members immediately pulled the girl out of the fire pit and called for help. Bystanders and campground staff assisted in providing first aid for the girl until rescue personnel arrived.
The two-year-old girl is from Milton, New Hampshire.
