Two students were burned in an accident Wednesday morning at Wainwright Middle School in Lafayette.
Sheffield Township Volunteer Fire Medical Officer Brian Waller said the students were a 14-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy.
Tippecanoe School Corporation Superintendant Scott Hanback said the students were burned when alcohol flared up in an 8th grade science lab.
Hanback said the school is not releasing the names of the students involved.
The 14-year-old boy was airlifted to Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis.
The 15-year-old was transported to a Lafayette hospital by ambulance.
"Our hearts go out to the students," said Hanback.
