Toddler Suffers Serious Burns After Toy Catches Fire

ALBANY, Ohio -- A toddler has burns on over 70% of his body after his toy tractor burst into flames Sunday.

The two-year-old's condition has not been released. He's being treated at Nationwide Children's Hospital for severe burns to his back, neck, and arms.

The boy's father suffered burns to his hands while aiding his son. Albany Fire Chief Roger Deardorff says the father's swift action prevented his son from sustaining more severe injuries.

 "As soon as he got to him, he pulled him off the tractor and ripped the clothes off the child which basically put the fire out," Deardorff said.

Investigators believe the toy's battery sparked the fire.
