Girl, 4, burnt by beach sand heated by barbecue 3 June 2013 Last updated at 09:11 A four-year-old girl has suffered burns on a Devon beach falling on to sand where a disposable barbecue had been used. The girl was with her family on Exmouth beach on Sunday when she walked across the heated sand and fell. She was taken to the town's Minor Injuries Unit for treatment to burns on her left foot and hand. Exmouth Beach Rescue Club said people did not realise how hot the containers could become. Nigel Snowshall, from the club, said: "People do not realise how hot the sand gets underneath these barbeques and how long it stays hot for. It gets very hot for several inches. Barbeque should not be put in beach bins, but left next to them for disposal, the club added.
