LEBANON, Maine — A 2-year-old girl from Milton N.H., remains at a Boston hospital as she recovers from serious burns.

While he would not release the identity of the girl, Assistant Rescue Chief Jason Cole said she sustained “significant burns over the right side of her body” after she fell onto smoldering coals in her family's fire pit at Flat Rock Bridge Family Resort around 6:28 a.m. Sunday.

“Her burns are serious and she'll be in Boston for a while,” Cole said, adding the girl who was flown by helicopter to Massachusetts General Hospital following the incident.

Cole said a Maine f ire warden who investigated the incident determined the girl accidentally fell onto the fire while she was playing. He added the family had been using the fire pit the night before.
