Seven Burned in Baltimore Bonfire Incident

Seven people, including two children, are recovering after a bonfire went out of control Sunday evening at a religious ceremony at a Hindu temple in Southwest Baltimore.

A person poured gasoline on the fire to get it going, Baltimore fire officials told WJZ.

The victims suffered various degrees of first, second and third-degree burns, according to Kevin Cartwright, fire department public information officer. .

Three of the seven remained hospitalized Monday.

"This is a very strong reminder not to use any type of accelerant to ignite a fire," Cartwright said.
