Amador County - A resident of the Buckhorn Mobile Park suffered serious burns while working on his truck Monday, according to police reports. The man was reportedly repairing the truck’s engine when gas in the engine compartment ignited and spread to clothing on his body. Initial reports say the man suffered second degree burns across much of his upper body, but these have yet to be confirmed. Local paramedics immediately arrived on the scene to assess the situation. The man was taken to a landing zone by medics at Mace Meadows Golf Course, loaded onto a helicopter by fire personnel and flown to an area hospital for burn treatment. The reports do not indicate how the fire was initially started and the incident is still under investigation. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots.
