A 12-Year-Old Girl Who Took Part in the ‘Fire Challenge’ Is in Intensive Care With Burns Covering Half Her Body

A viral stunt gone wrong landed a 12-year-old girl from Detroit in the hospital on Friday.

Teenagers taking part in the "fire challenge," which dates back to at least 2014, typically pour small amounts of rubbing alcohol onto their bodies, light it on fire and film the whole ordeal. The idea is to quickly extinguish the flames with water — but on Friday, Timiyah Landers landed in intensive care after she lost control of the blaze and became engulfed in flames, the Washington Post reports.
