Paramedics rushed to Kenilworth Homestead campgrounds in Eumundi Kenilworth Rd at Kenilworth before 3pm on Sunday following reports of a dog attack.
A Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman said a boy toddler was flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition with significant facial injuries.
The spokeswoman said crews were also tasked to the Mooloolah train station at 3.07pm on Sunday after a train had lost power.
She said the train was towed back to the Mooloolah Valley where 67 patients declined assessment, however paramedics were assessing one patient for heat stroke due to a lack of air-conditioning.

They expected delays of up to an hour on the Sunshine Coast line with crews on scene. Rail replacement buses were also being organised for passengers travelling between those stations.
