Not official report. AI-generated from public dispatch audio. Always verify with official sources.

An ambulance crew is taking a 29-year-old man to University Medical Center. He has small first- and second-degree burns on his fingertips and hands after trying to set some objects on fire, possibly old bricks. The burned areas are very limited and not circumferential. He has a possible history of seizures and is mildly confused and agitated but responds to spoken instructions. His blood pressure is 150 over 86, and his level of consciousness is slightly reduced. This is not considered a major burn case, and he is being sent to emergency medical triage for further evaluation.
