Joel Hall

After trying to build a fire using wet wood and an entire can of lighter fluid, Joel Hall added some gasoline to the mix. He set the gas can down what he thought was a safe distance from the fire, but it exploded and created a trail of flames that climbed up his jeans. Feeling very little pain, Joel changed into sweatpants and called it a night. But soon he was experiencing heat flashes and massive sweating in the 30-degree weather. The family rushed to the ER at Medical City Plano, where Joel was admitted to the Burn & Reconstructive Center and learned that he had deep, third-degree burns.
