WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Hairspray and a candle are blamed for a fire that left a 2-year-old Wichita boy with second-degree burns.

KAKE-TV reports the accident happened Monday afternoon in the western part of the city.

Police say a 12-year-old and an 8-year-old were watching their younger siblings while their parents were at work. The older children left the toddler on a bathroom counter after brushing their teeth.

The 2-year-old knocked over a plastic bottle containing a flammable liquid thought to be hairspray, and a candle ignited the liquid.

Police said the 12-year-old carried the toddler to the home of a neighbor, who called for help. The 2-year-old was hospitalized with burns on his upper body.

No criminal charges are expected.
