COLEMAN, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) - Twelve-year-old Caden Ballard was sitting at home in Coleman, Texas, with his older brother, scrolling on TikTok, when they came across a video they wanted to try.

Ballard said he and his brother grabbed the materials and thought the experiment went well, until it did not.

"You basically take some rubbing alcohol and you put it into a bottle, and then you light it on fire, and the fire shoots up the bottle. I did that. My brother and I did that, and it was cool," Ballard explained.

"It looked like the fire had gone out. So, my brother grabbed and said, 'Here, throw it away.' So, I grabbed it to throw it in the trash can, [and] my shirt was on fire."
