Barbecue mishap

PARAMEDICS had to treat a man who sustained burns after throwing petrol on a barbecue in Narre Warren South last Sunday morning.
Advanced life support paramedics from Berwick were called to the home at midnight to find the man being cooled in the shower and in a great deal of pain.
“He had been cooking on a barbecue when he added petrol to the heat beads which flared up and burnt him,” paramedic Jo Downey said.
The 22-year-old man suffered burns to his arm, chest, forehead, cheek, ear and throat.
He was taken to Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition.
