(KNSI) — Four people were hospitalized Sunday night after their tent caught fire.

According to the Wright County Sheriff’s Office, crews were called to fire at a property in Maple Lake just before 9:00. They say a woman was using an aerosol paint can for an art project inside the tent when the fumes came into contact with the flame of an insect repellant candle just outside the tent and ignited.

A 20-year-old female was transported to HCMC by Allina Ambulance for severe burns to her legs. A 37-year-old woman was rushed to Buffalo Hospital for second degree burns to her foot, hand and forearm. Two family members took the teens to the Buffalo Hospital for minor burns.
