Boy caught on fire from lighting cupcakes…
This is not the type of cupcake news I like to report. But according to ABC4 Utah a young boy caught fire when lighting some cupcakes. I’m hoping cupcakes is like a brand of firework or something but I don’t think so. I’d like more details…but this is all the article said.
Six year old Kevin Nunez is in critical condition Tuesday after being burned while playing with gasoline and a lighter.
The flames incinerated most of the boys red shirt and charred the tops of his jeans. A neighbor who witnessed the accident says, “At first it was just with the lighter, lighting cupcakes. they just got the idea of pulling out the gasoline to light a big fire.”
one flick of the lighter and Nunez was engulfed in flames. Witnesses say his father tried to reduce the burns, “they just stripped him of his clothes and put whipped cream on him.” he was likely trying to cool the boy down, but it’s not something doctors recommend doing.
Pretty bizarre.
