A young Calais boy sustained serious injuries late last Wednesday afternoon, June 12th while sitting at a backyard campfire, according to the State Fire Marshal’s Office.

Wyatte Chandler, age 1 ½, was sitting with his mother Courtnie Chandler when his father, Joshua Barnard, poured a flammable liquid over the fire.  The liquid pouring from the bottle ignited, at which time Barnard instinctively dropped the bottle, accidentally spilling some of the contents on Wyatte.
