Woman who suffered from severe burns sets up fundraiser for National Burns Unit

A woman, who was engulfed in fire after she unwittingly refueled an already lit Bane Marie last year, is to spearhead a fundraising drive for the National Burns Unit at St James's Hospital.

Joanne McMahon, from Castlemahon, Co Limerick, suffered serious burns to her head, neck, and hands, after she put methylated spirits onto the food heater, which sparked with a naked flame.
