Fearful moments occurred during a traditional fire skirt dance performance in China. While a female dancer performed around the fire in her red dress, her garment suddenly caught fire due to the wind and flames.

Frightening moments were experienced during a traditional fire skirt dance performance held in China. While the female dancer on stage was performing around the fire in her red dress, her garment suddenly caught fire due to the effect of the wind and the flames.

THE PRIMITIVE FIRE-FIGHTING EFFORTS OF THOSE AROUND WERE CAPTURED ON CAMERA 

As the flames grew, great panic ensued. Instead of looking for a fire extinguisher, the people around and the officials tried to put out the fire by hitting the flames with cloths, towels, and clothes they could find. 

When these "primitive" intervention methods, which fanned the flames and caused tragicomic scenes, were not enough to extinguish the fire, the female dancer also tried to take off her dress. However, this attempt was also unsuccessful.

TEAMS STRUGGLED TO INTERVENE 

Because the fire extinguisher was approximately 100 meters away from the stage, the flames could not be brought under control professionally at the first moment.  

After about 2 seconds of panic, finally, one person found and brought a fire extinguisher, put out the flames, and prevented a major disaster. 

TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL 

After the frightening incident, the female dancer, who suffered burns on her body, was quickly taken to the hospital. It was learned that the dancer, who was taken under treatment, was in good health.
