A woman from Washington state suffered "significant" burns from her shoulders to her feet when she tried to rescue her dog from a Yellowstone National Park hot spring. Park rangers and firefighters cared for the 20-year-old woman before she was taken to the burn unit at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, park officials said in a statement Tuesday.
The woman's name, intensity of her burns and condition weren't released after she was burned Monday afternoon in the Madison Junction area.
The woman and her father had stopped to look around when their dog jumped out of their car and into Maiden's Grave Spring near the Firehole River. After the woman tried rescuing the dog, her father pulled her out of the spring and drove her to West Yellowstone, Montana.
