A teenager has been taken to hospital after suffering burns while trying to start a fire using petrol.
Fire and ambulance crews were called to Main St, Oxford, in Canterbury late this afternoon after reports a person had been burned in what was initially thought to be a house fire.
A southern fire communications spokesman said: "The occupant of the property had been trying to light their fire - and unfortunately used an accelerant to do so."
The incident happened shortly before 5pm.
The teenager, whose exact age was not available, suffered burns to one of his hands and a leg. The severity of his injuries was not known, but was definitely "not life-threatening," the spokesman said.
