It was the first of two helicopter jobs of the weekend for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter service.

The rescue helicopter was called to a rural property at Kars Springs, north west of Scone just after 2pm.

A spokesperson for the helicopter service said the man had suffered "burns to his arms and abdominal area" after falling into the fire.

Local ambulance paramedics and emergency services were the first to arrive at the scene and started treatment of the man before the arrival of the rescue helicopter.

He was flown to the Tamworth hospital in a stable condition with burns to his arms and abdomen.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, the rescue helicopter was called to transport a 16-year-old suffering a serious medical condition.

The teenager was flown from the Moree hospital to the Tamworth hospital to undergo specialist treatment.

The rescue helicopter airlifted a man to John Hunter Hospital on Thursday after he survived a hang glider crash.
