A City of Shasta Lake teen is still nursing second-degree burns after his friend accidentally set him on fire. 17-year old Jordan Salinas’ stomach and right-hand were badly burnt in Sunday's accident.

According to him, it happened when one of his friends was squirting lighter fluid on some plants. The friend turned and accidentally doused him with lighter fluid.

At the same time, Jordan was lighting a cigarette, which immediately caught him on fire. Despite his injuries, Jordan says he forgives his friend for what happened.

Authorities in the City of Shasta Lake say the young man with the lighter fluid was issued a citation. The case has been turned over to juvenile probation.
