A man has suffered serious burns after a jetski he was refuelling exploded at Wisemans Ferry.
The 36-year-old had been refuelling the vessel on the Hawkesbury River in the afternoon of Friday, December 27 when the incident occurred, a CareFlight statement said.
"A bystander provided first aid, placing the man under a shower initially," the statement said.
"CareFlight's rapid response helicopter was tasked to help shortly before 4pm. It took off and was in the air in less than four minutes.
"CareFlight's specialist doctor and NSW Ambulance critical care paramedic provided additional treatment for burns to the upper body and airways. The man was intubated and placed in an induced coma to stablise him.
"NSW Police and NSW Ambulance crews also arrived by road and also provided assistance."
The man was airlifted to Concord Hospital's burns unit in a serious but stable condition.
