Burned Plainfield boy airlifted to St. Barnabas




A young boy who was burned by scalding was airlifted from Hub-Stine to St. Barnabas about 8:30 PM on Monday.

Running late getting to the Council's agenda-setting session, I happened upon the scene at the corner of North Avenue and Gavett place around 8 PM, outside the Islamic study center, where there were several police cars and Muhlenberg's Mercy 6 ambulance.

As I pulled past the gathering and looked for a place to pull over, the Plainfield Rescue Squad came up North Avenue from Park.

The youngster, who bystanders said lived on the block, was quickly driven away to Hub-Stine Field where a medevac was waiting.

When I got home, there were two emails in my inbox from neighbors in the Hub-Stine area advising of the medevac.

There is a breaking news item in the Ledger online here.
