Young Boy Burned Near Old Faithful
The six year old is from South Jordan, Utah. The boy, his parents, and two older siblings had entered the park earlier in the day, and set up camp at Madison Campground, and then traveled to the Old Faithful area.
The family had just watched an eruption of Grand Geyser around 6:00 p.m. The boy was playing and walking along on the wet boardwalk when he slipped and fell into hot water runoff from the nearby West Triplet Geyser, which had also recently erupted.
He was pulled out of the water after suffering burns to his arms and legs. A park ranger was nearby and summoned the Old Faithful Rangers who responded to the scene with an ambulance and paramedic support. The boy was taken to the Old Faithful Clinic and then later transported by ambulance to the West Yellowstone, Montana airport and flown by air ambulance to the Burn Center at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City.
