Hunters have to be cautious when hunting.
This is true in all situations. But you probably never thought about being severely burned by a space heater while hunting.
Recently, deer hunter Joseph Shepersky of Menahga, Minnesota, suffered third-degree burns when his sweat pants caught on fire because of a space heater.
Twin Cities reports that when the 54-year-old spotted the flames, he climbed to the ground, where his 15-year-old son helped him remove his clothes. By the time emergency personnel arrived at the scene, the fire had spread from Shepersky’s clothes to the dry grass around the deer stand. Firefighters, however, were able to extinguish the blaze with no notable difficulty.
Shepersky was then flown to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he received treatment on the burned, lower-half of his body.
