Teen suffers facial burns after night fire

WHAT may have been a casual Saturday night fire turned into a sore night for a Coast teen.

About 9pm yesterday a male teen suffered serious burns to his face after petrol was thrown on a fire.

Paramedics, including critical care, were called to a private residence at Mudjimba to treat him for facial burns.

The teen was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
