Twelve-Year-Old Girl Suffers Second And Third Degree Burns After Attempting The “Fire Challenge”

The #FireChallenge has left a 12-year-old girl with severe burns and forced to use a ventilator.

On Friday, (Aug. 17), Brandi Owens was cooking breakfast for her daughter Timiyah and her two friends. Time had passed and Owens was lying in bed with her fiancé Marquell Sholar when all of a sudden they heard a loud pop and Timiyah came running down the hall screaming. She “looked like a fireball,” Owens said. “She was yelling, ‘Help me.’ ”

In a panic, Owens began throwing cold water on her while pushing her to get into the shower. “I was reaching through the fire,” Owens said, mentioning she didn’t even realize she was burning her hands. “It was like a reflex. . . . I didn’t even feel the fire; I was just saving my daughter.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As soon as the fire was put out they rushed the girl to the nearest hospital. Timiyah suffered second and third-degree burns and will stay in medical care until she recovers. The girls attempted the “fire challenge,” which involves a person covering themselves in rubbing alcohol, lighting themselves on fire and trying to quickly put the fire out with water. Timiyah was introduced to the challenge by one of the friends who tried it at home. “They weren’t expecting it to go that way,” Owens said. “If we weren’t home, she’d have died. Those kids wouldn’t have known what to do, but to sit there and let her burn. It’d have been pretty much over for her.”

Timiyah is now being fed through a tube, hooked to a ventilator with severe burns. Owens wants YouTube to remove dangerous challenges from their site.
