A dramatic incident unfolded in Sydney on June 13th when two men attempted to set a salon abl@ze — only for one of them to accidentally catch fire in the process.
According to CCTV footage, the two men were seen forcing entry into the salon in the early hours of the morning. As they spread accelerant around the premises, the second man slipped on the flammable liquid, just before the first man ignited the blaze from the doorway, triggering a massive fireball.
The flames rapidly engulfed the salon, and the man who slipped appeared to be caught in the explosion, though it remains unclear whether he sustained injuries. Authorities are currently working to determine his condition.
At approximately 5:00 a.m., Fire and Rescue crews arrived at the scene. Residents living above the salon were evacuated as a precaution. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the salon itself sustained only minor damage due to the swift response.
Speaking on the incident, Detective Acting Superintendent Luke Scott said: “It is clear that we need to identify who those people are, because not only are they a danger to the community, they are obviously a danger to themselves
“It’s quite clear when you watch this CCTV, we are not dealing with professionals, we are dealing with amateurs,”
“I urge anybody in the community who identifies who those people are, knows who those people are or suspects that one of their friends or family may have caught fire on June 13 to come forward.”
