Facebook 'Fire Challenge' goes horribly wrong

#FireChallenge It's hard to take a good picture when you're on fire.

There is an alarming new trend making its way around the internet.

It's called the #FireChallenge and authorities are trying to put a stop to it.  The challenge has been made popular by social media.

To properly execute the #FireChallenge, you must pour an accelerant on your body and light yourself on fire.  The stunt is then recorded by someone else and the video is posted online.

The challenge has grown in popularity and now Facebook is now working to delete videos before they go viral.

A 15-year-old New York boy died after setting himself on fire earlier this month.

This teen survived his #FireChallenge but he suffered serious burns as a result.

WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE

This guy didn't fare much better.
