The Tauranga based TrustPower TECT rescue helicopter was called to Edgecumbe yesterday afternoon after a 1-year-old toddler from Tauranga  fell into a fire.

The young boy, who  just started walking, was visiting family in Edgecumbe when the accident occurred.

A family member was burning rubbish when the toddler stumbled into the fire, receiving burns to his hands and feet as well as other areas of his body.


The young boy was stabilised by St John ambulance paramedics before being flown direct to Auckland’s Middlemore hospital accompanied by his mother. His condition described as serious.
