NSW Ambulance said they had been called to Dicksons Road in Jilliby at about 10.30am.
A 44-year-old man was treated for serious burns to his face, arms and legs, and he was flown to Royal North Shore Hospital in a serious but stable condition. A job where a patient is suffering from suspected severe burns is always alarming â it s not til you see the patient that you know how badly injured they are, Bradley Folitarik from NSW Ambulance said. Airway involvement is our greatest concern as it creates fairly rapid onset of swelling, which can cause breathing problems and, essentially, the airway to close.
