Woman suffered severe burns while trying to rescue her dog from the hot spring in Yellowstone Park
Officials said on Tuesday that a woman suffered severe thermal burns from shoulder to toe while trying to rescue her dog that jumped into the hot spring in Yellowstone National Park.
The park said that their dog then jumped out of their car and ran into the Maiden’s Tomb Spring near the Huodong River.
The woman followed the dog into the hot spring to save it, and her father pulled her out.
After receiving initial treatment from park rangers and local fire officials, she was taken to the Burn Center of the Eastern Regional Medical Center in Idaho.
The dog has been taken out of the hot spring and its condition is unknown.
Park officials said they are investigating.
Huangshi officials remind visitors that the ground in the hydrothermal area is fragile and thin, with hot water underneath.
The park said: “Everyone must stay on boardwalks and trails and be extra careful around thermal features.”
This woman’s burns are the second serious injury in the Yellowstone National Park hot zone this year.
