Man in serious condition from burns

A 23-year-old man is in a serious condition after suffering severe burns while he was camping near Logue Brook Dam in the South West today.

The RAC rescue helicopter was sent to the man’s campsite near Logue Brook Dam Road, north of Harvey, about 5am before taking him to Royal Perth Hospital.

It is understood the man’s tent had caught alight but St John Ambulance was unable to confirm this.

“He is suffering from significant burns to his face, upper body and left leg,” a spokesman said.

A Royal Perth Hospital spokesman said he was in a serious but stable condition.
