An explosion which left four teenage girls severely burned may have been caused by a set of hair tongs.

Sisters Anya, 15 and Kira Evans, 14, and their friends Nadine Fardon, 14, and Kimberly Patterson, 15 were on breathing machines last night and all four are likely to spend Christmas in intensive care.

The explosion, at a house in Old Castle Road, Llanelli, is thought to have been caused by the butane canister in a set of hair curling tongs.


I never saw the point of my wife having these gas fueled things when we have a perfectly good electric supply at home and at our holiday destinations.

My girlfriend insists hers is so she can fix her hair on nights out.

according to the news, the fire service has stated that it's highly unlikely the explosion was caused by hair tongues.

So what was it?

Llanelli Housing. That's the second fire in the same sort of house this year.

(I got caught up in the first one en route home from Pembrey)

Looking at the ages of the young ladies involved, I'd hazard a guess that they were very likely messing around with hairstyles, hair styling stuff, hair spray, perfume and the tongs. Silly things that you do at that age, sadly without thinking of the consequences.

I wish all four a speedy recovery.
