CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. -- A Cumberland County woman was severely burned in what police are calling a freak accident.

Robyn Foose, 34, was playing with a child's magnifying glass when it started a fire on her clothes, investigators said.

She was burned Friday evening at Keystone Service of Central Pa., which is a group home in Mechanicsburg.

"This is what happens, the intensity goes above 212 degrees it can be generated, and at that point combustion can happen," said Gary Neff, Harrisburg's deputy fire chief.

Foose is in critical condition with burns covering 50 percent of her body.
