Early Thursday morning around 03:30 hours Boston Fire responded to the area Mattakeeset Street and Topalian Street in Hyde Park for the reports of an outside trash fire. Upon further information Boston EMS was dispatched for a person possibly on Fire.
When Firefighters arrived on scene they located an adult female fully engulfed, and they were quickly able to extinguish the victim. Boston EMTs and Paramedics quickly transported the woman to a local burn center where she is reportedly being treated for 3rd degree burns covering over 80% of her body.
