Youth badly burned in straw fire
A teenager has suffered serious burns in a straw stack fire in Norfolk.

The emergency services were called to the fire at Muck Lane, Rackheath, near Norwich, on Sunday afternoon.

Police said they found a 17-year-old boy with such serious burns to his face and hands he had to be taken to a burns unit at Chelmsford, Essex.

A second boy, aged 13, was found at the scene with minor burns. No-one has been arrested, but police say they are treating the fire as criminal damage.
