JACKSONVILLE, FL (KTRK) -- A young girl is being treated for burns at a hospital in Gainesville.

Authorities tell CNN affiliate WFOX a flammable liquid inside a pumpkin burned a 6-year-old girl Sunday night at a home in St. Johns County.

There's no word yet on what exactly the liquid was, but WFOX reports the girl's parents were taking her to Flagler Hospital when they stopped at a fire station. Paramedics there determined she had life-threatening injuries. She was then taken to Gainesville in a medical helicopter.

No word on her condition.
