Well here you go................

BOSTON -- A teenage boy found in a Hanson parking lot suffering from burns on almost half of his body was part of a group of teens experimenting with fire and gasoline, State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan said Thursday.

The Hanson Fire Department received a 911 call at about 4:40 p.m. Wednesday. The 14-year-old was found near Station Street and taken by Medflight to Massachusetts General Hospital.

"Adults should speak to the children in their care about who should be handling gasoline, how and when," Coan said. "Young teens should not be handling gasoline without adult supervision, and they need to understand how easily gasoline vapors can ignite."

The incident remained under investigation by state and local police and fire departments.
