It’s been going on for a few years now, however it seems the “Fire Challenge” has officially become a local issue after a Far Rockaway 12-year-old doused himself in rubbing alcohol, and set himself on fire performing the challenge. The fire burned more than 40 percent of his body.
In addition to the 12-year-old, there is an 11-year-old also recovering at Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow.
Because of this insane internet challenge hitting our area, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano had to have a press conference at the hospital to urge residents: “Do not set yourself on fire”
