6-year-old Chino boy suffers third-degree burns after touching electrical vault at park
A six-year-old Chino boy is recovering after suffering third-degree burns he suffered when he stepped on an electrical vault at a park last week. Allison Scott was the first person to rush to the boy's aid after seeing him fall to the ground. "He's laid out, but his hands are clenched," she recalled. It was then she realized it was far from an ordinary playground tumble. "I squatted down to pick him up and tried to stand him up and he couldn't stand." The electrical vault cover prior to the incident. Allison Scott She says that the boy came in contact with an electrical vault, which is located underneath the sidewalk near the snack stand at Heritage Park on May 10, while there were several baseball games ongoing. The boy suffered third-degree burns to his stomach that required surgery, Scott said. She says she now realizes that the electrical current could have also transferred to her when she picked the boy up, but she was just doing what any mother would have. "This could have been a very different situation," Scott said. Matthew Bramlett, a spokesperson for the city of Chino, says that they're investigation what happened, and that they've already taking measures to make sure it doesn't happen again. Though the vault was covered at the time of the incident, the electrical current somehow transferred through to the boy. They've replaced the covering and the vault, and the area is now marking with large bold letters spelling out "electrical." "We completely replaced the vault, replaced the lid, we replaced the concrete casing around the vault, so everything is brand new," Bramlett said. The replaced electrical vault covering following the incident. KCAL News With 27 parks throughout the city, officials have put plans in motion to evaluate similar vaults at all locations to make sure that the necessary steps can be taken to ensure the safety of park goers. "We want to make sure everything is in tiptop shape," Bramlett said. "Everything is safe and secure, and parks remain welcoming to the community."

Here are the best places to get wet in Barrie this summer
Barrie lifeguards will be on duty for beach season.(CTV NEWS/BARRIE) It might not feel like it this week, with temperatures in the mid-teens, but hot weather is on the horizon and Barrie is known for its fun water parks. Both the Heritage Park and Lampman Lane Park splash pads are already open for the season. And Barrie's four beaches will be ready once summer weather arrives: Centennial Beach, 65 Lakeshore Drive Lifeguards not yet on duty for the season Johnson's Beach, 2 Johnson Street Lifeguards not yet on duty for the season Minet's Point Beach, 10 Lismer Boulevard No lifeguards Tyndale Beach, 45 Tyndale Road No lifeguards A new splash park will be coming to Ward 7 soon. See budget highlights. Although there will be life guards on duty on two of Barrie's beaches, city staff want to remind the public that children require direct supervision at the beach, and to practice water safety. Both Centennial Beach and Johnson's Beach have posted signs behind each lifeguard chair advising residents when lifeguards are on duty. Buoy lines indicate the safest areas for swimmers, and deeper water is marked by drop-off markers that are anchored in the water. An accessibility mat at Centennial Beach is anchored on the sand between lifeguard chairs #4 and #5. This mat allows caregivers to push wheelchairs and strollers closer to the water's edge and is accessible from the boardwalk. To ensure Barrie's beaches are safe for swimming, weekly water samples are analyzed by the health unit. During humid weather or after storms, watch for warnings that will be posted at designated swimming beaches when bacteria levels exceed provincial guidelines. Beach-goers can check the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit beach water testing results before heading to the beach. During the summer season, the Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs) or lifejacket loaner program allows visitors to borrow lifejackets for free (a deposit is required). PFDs are available from the lifeguard office at Centennial Beach and Johnson's Beach, seven days a week between 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. .
