A nine-year-old girl from Washington state is in a critical condition with second degree burns across 75-percent of her body after her nightgown went up in flames.
Little Addie Perrenoud was at home in her bathroom when she struck a match to light a candle and her nightgown ignited, in an accident possibly caused by the liquid fabric softener her mother used in the home laundry.
‘From the time the girl’s mother heard her daughter starting to scream until mom had the fire out was probably less than a minute,’ said Clark County Assistant Fire Marshall Richard Martin.
Rushing to her daughters aid ata round 9.20 a.m., Kelly Perrenoud, 32, began ‘tackling her to the floor and rolling her on the floor to get the flames out,’ said Martin to ABC News.
Flown by emergency helicopter to the Oregon Burn Center at Legacy Emmanuel Medical Center in Portland, the girl has remained in a critical condition since the accident on Wednesday.
