IOWA CITY, Iowa - Six people were burned at a college hangout after bartenders set the bartop ablaze with rum in a stunt learned in Acapulco.
The bartenders at Et Cetera sent a stream of rum down the bartop and ignited it early Thursday, scattering some customers.
The flames raced up the arm of a young woman, setting her hands and face on fire, said Whitney Grabinski, a University of Iowa student. She said the fire burned another woman's arm and spread to a man's shirt.
Another student, Sarah Christeson, said the fire flared when a young woman tried to "breathe fire" by spitting alcohol into the flames. Flames blew into the young woman's face, Christeson said.
The young woman was listed in good condition at a hospital Friday. The condition of the others was not immediately released.
The bartenders apparently intended the flames to burn out quickly, authorities said.
Charges may be filed against the bar, police said.
You know what they say " if you play with FIRE you get burnt "
