Save you a click:

Robinson was making an appearance at the Mayberry truck show in Mount Airy when he was injured, campaign spokesperson Mike Lonergan said in a statement.

Robinson was treated at Northern regional hospital in Mount Airy for second-degree burns, he added.

The rest of the article is fluff.

And second degree burning is blistering. Could've been as simple as leaning against a truck exhaust.

Edit: Oh, I stand corrected. It is blistering at most.
