GOLDSBORO, NC (WRAL/CNN) – A brother and sister are severely burned after attempting to roast marshmallows with rubbing alcohol.
Montrael Williams says he and his siblings wanted to roast marshmallows on the cold Saturday afternoon, but the experience quickly got out of hand.
The children used a lighter, a pan and rubbing alcohol to heat the marshmallows. One of them thought the flame had died down, but within seconds, the 8-year-old and 12-year-old were consumed in flames.
"The bottle went flying the other way and then the juice or the alcohol went flying toward my brother and sister, and they caught on fire. I didn't catch on fire because I was at the corner of the table,” Montrael said.
The children’s mother Lashandra Moore saw her daughter was on fire and ran to help her but didn’t realize her son was outside, also on fire.
Thankfully, a neighbor saw the boy and stopped to help, but his injuries were already severe.
"Jaylen's eyes got burned so bad they were blue. They were blue and gray, and he couldn't see,” Moore said.
Still, the mother is relieved her children are alive.
Montrael says he’s learned a hard and scary lesson from the incident.
"My dad, he was talking to me in the family room about how I shouldn't have been messing with fire. When we were walking out of the hospital getting ready to come back here, I made a promise to myself that I was never going to mess with lighters or fire again because I learned my lesson,” he said.
