A Crystal Brook man is in a critical condition after suffering third degree burns to 36pc of his body in the early hours of Saturday.

The man, 48, received a series of burns to his head, ears, back and arms.

Mount Gambier police believe the burns were a result of paint thinner being added to a campfire in the Mount Gambier Showgrounds at about 1.10am.

The man was taken to the Mount Gambier Hospital and then flown to Adelaide.

A 23-year old Taperoo man also suffered burns to his hands and was treated at the Mount Gambier Hospital.

Mount Gambier Criminal Investigation Branch and the Crime Scene Investigation Section officers are investigating the incident.
