I DON’T CARE THAT PEOPLE STARE AT MY SKIN. WHAT I HATE IS HOW I HURT MY FAMILY.
AUSTIN BAILIFF
GASOLINE BURN SURVIVOR
HE WAS JUST 14. IT STILL HURTS TO THINK HOW EVERYTHING CHANGED IN AN INSTANT. BUT I AM SO GRATEFUL HE SURVIVED.
TAMMY BAILIFF
MOTHER OF A GASOLINE BURN SURVIVOR
MOST PARENTS DON’T MIX GAS AND FIRE. BUT EVERY TIME I SEE A CHILD SERIOUSLY BURNED, I REMEMBER THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE TO REACH.
TOM HUFFORD
BOARD MEMBER, FIRE MARSHALS ASSOCIATION OF OKLAHOMA
I NEVER USE GASOLINE TO START FIRES. IT AMAZES ME THAT ANY PARENT WOULD. MY KIDS COPY EVERYTHING I DO.
LARRY DAVIS
FATHER OF TWO
I TREAT KIDS WHOSE PARENTS USE GASOLINE TO START BRUSH OR TRASH FIRES. MY SPECIALTY IS GRAFTING BURNED SKIN. I WISH PARENTS WOULD PUT ME OUT OF A JOB.
DR. JAMES JOHNSON
BURN SPECIALIST
IT HAPPENED AT A FAMILY PICNIC. A 9-YEAR-OLD WAS HELPING HIS PARENTS START A BBQ GRILL WITH GASOLINE. SEEING A CHILD BURNED LIKE THAT MAKES YOU MAD AND SAD.
