Milazzo: un giovane di 14 anni ustionato dalle fiamme durante una grigliata, feriti due suoi amici

Explain the following article briefly:

Three young people were injured during a barbecue in Milazzo, in the province of Messina. Yesterday afternoon, in the Ponente area of the City, near the former Le Cupole nightclub, a 14-year-old was lighting the barbecue fire when he was hit by a flashover that caused serious burns to his face, chest, and upper limbs. Two other boys from Monforte were also nearby and were hit by the fire but to a lesser extent. The emergency services were immediately called, and an ambulance arrived on the scene. The paramedics provided initial treatment and transported the 14-year-old to the hospital in Milazzo. Due to the severe burns, he was then transferred by helicopter to the burns center at the Civico Hospital in Palermo. The two friends of the injured youth suffered minor injuries. The circumstances that led to the flashover are still unclear, but it appears that the wind played a significant role.
