The fire-breather’s face caught fire, and flames spread to his arms and body before 2,000 students. He ran onto the gym’s floor, which also caught fire.
Cellphone video of the incident, captured by a onlooker in attendance, showed students screaming as the flames burned.
Someone can be heard shouting:
“Sit down, sit down! Everybody sit down!”
In addition to the eight people hospitalized, another dozen students were treated on the scene. The students were treated for respiratory injuries.

Wow! That’s horrible. Get well soon!
