When i was 15 and hanging out with a group of friends in the woods near our school after school. Some of the boys had made a fire because it was cold, a boy who had been playing with the fire had lit a stick and was walking around with it like a torch. Some home the stick connected with my boog bag which was hanging from my shoulder and lit the school bag and hair on fire.

Everyone panicked and by instinct I ran back to the school. Running fed the fire and my cloths were now on fire and my skin was being burned. I was seen by a teacher who put me on the ground and put the fire out. I was taken to hospital as i was burned from the top of my head down onto the top of my leg just above my knee. Much of my hair on one side of my head was burned away, but because the hair burned quickly it was more like a bad sun burn, except for on my neck and along my jaw bone where my jacket and backpack burned. Under the bag and where my cloths were, were the worst of the 2nd and 3rd degree burns. My legs were mostly OK too as the skirt i was wearing was wool and did not burn easily and was away from my legs.
