AMBULANCE bosses are once again warning about the dangers of using accelerants on barbecues after three people were hurt.
An elderly man suffered very serious burns after accelerant was put on a barbecue, resulting in a 'flash back.'
He was airlifted to the burns centre at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
A middle-aged man who also suffered burns, was also taken to the Queen Elizabeth hospital by ambulance.
An elderly woman who had gone to help the two patients was treated at the scene for less serious burns.
It happened in the village of Hopton Wafers in Worcestershire at about 6.40pm on Tuesday evening.
An ambulance, the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham and the West Midlands CARE Team doctor were sent to the scene.
