A 15-month-old Mesa boy was flown to Maricopa Medical Center with serious burns over 27 percent of his body after he pulled a bowl of hot soup onto himself Friday.
Fire officials said the boy, who lives in an apartment near Southern Avenue and Stewart, was flown to the hospital about 1 p.m. with what appeared to be second- and third-degree burns.
Officials believe the incident was accidental, and the boy likely pulled the soup down after it had been taken out of the microwave.
