A teenage boy suffered burns when he set fire to a dry lawn in a disused villa.
The 14-year-old suffered what firefighters described as moderate burns while playing in the Dahan area of Ras Al Khaimah on Sunday.
RAK Civil Defence said the accident happened about 7.15pm and that firefighters and paramedics were sent to the site.
Firefighters put out the grass fire and the case was referred to the police.
Fire officials said parents need to keep their children in sight and ensure they do not have access to lighters or any flammable material that could be used to play with fire.

It's Monty Python's Crashing Rocket Circus
To the theme tune of the famous zany British comedy TV show, SpaceX has shown exactly what can go wrong when you try to land a rocket.
The two minute video posted on YouTube is a compilation of crashes and explosion as the company, created by billionaire Elon Musk, refined the technique of reusable space flight.
SpaceX is able to land its rockets on land once they have completed the first stage of their mission, and is able to resuse them multiple times - a first for space flight.
But as the video, How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster, demonstrates, it was a case if you fail, try and try again.
