A
three-year-old girl from
Ponte di Piave (in the province of Treviso) is hospitalized at the center for burns in Verona after being hit by a flame emanating from a
barbecue
that her father was setting up on the terrace of their home.
The fire, caused by a
bottle of flammable liquid
, was soon extinguished by a neighbor and, later, by the fire brigade.
The parent suffered superficial burns and was admitted to the hospital in Oderzo (Treviso).
The carabinieri are carrying out investigations on the episode.
