For Middle and High School Educators

Young people ages 13 and older are in the highest at-risk group for gasoline and other flammable substance burns. To spread the message about the dangers of misusing gasoline to teens and tweens, Shriners Hospitals has produced a brief video featuring Austin Bailiff, a teen who was severely burned after experimenting with fire and gasoline. Bailiff has endured months of surgeries, skin grafts and physical therapy, and has missed out on playing football, wrestling and his 8th grade graduation.
