13 year old burned in Dalton fire
DALTON, Georgia (WDEF) – A 13 year old boy was injured in a fire in Dalton last night.
Dalton Fire crews were called to a home on Ironwood Way around 9:30.
They found a piece of furniture on fire and put it out.
But they also found the juvenile outside suffering from second and third degree burns to his head and body.
He was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Fire investigators believe that the boy had been pouring alcohol into a soda can and lighting it on fire when he was burned.
The Dalton Fire Department responded to a fire call on Tuesday night that left a teenage juvenile with burn injuries. An investigation of the incident indicates that the fire was caused by accident when the juvenile was playing with fire.
