A BABY girl and her father were taken to hospital after suffering burns when a fire broke out at a barbecue.

The 18-month-old toddler received burns to one of her arms and legs and the man also suffered injuries after petrol was poured on to the barbecue in the back garden of a house in Falcon Square, Eastleigh.

Ambulance crews took them both to hospital and fire crews from St Mary's in Southampton were called to the scene at around 6.35pm yesterday but the fire was out on arrival.
