NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- An off-duty Orange County firefighter helped save a girl burned by a fire pit.
The 10-year-old girl was at a father-daughter campout at Newport Dunes on Saturday when she fell against a steel fire pit.
Orange County Fire Authority firefighter Mike Heddleston was at the YMCA-sponsored camping trip with his daughter.
Authorities say Heddleston grabbed a bottle of water to cool the girl's skin and wrapped her up in a towel.
She was brought to the Orange County Global Burn Center for treatment.
The family says the 10-year old girl is doing remarkably well and pictures show her smiling with her stuffed pup. She has since been released from the hospital.
