He was then airlifted to Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas. According to the Parkland Hospital Burn Center, more than 2,000 people are treated for burns at the hospital annually. The center also has a support staff to help the patient and their families get back to a normal life following their burn injury.
Parkland Burn Center, the website says, is one of the largest burn units in the country.
The team previously said that Singleton suffered burns to 26% of his body. They also said that he would need skin grafts to cover the impacted areas that were badly burned.
