Man threatens to torch himself in Blackburn row

10:25am Thursday 16th February 2012 in News Photograph of the Author By Neil Docking, Reporter

A MAN threatened to set himself on fire following a domestic dispute at a home in Blackburn last night.

Firefighters and police were called to a home in Lynwood Round around 11pm.

However, they said that when they arrived it became apparent that the man was not going to set himself alight, and had only made the threats because he was upset following an argument.

It was probably Steve Kean. Police realised he's fireproof and left him to it.

What a waste of the emergecy services time. They should have left him a box of matches.

terrible, in a smokeless zone too. Good job he changed his mind, his carbon footprint would have gone through the roof.

Chris283 you wouldn't be making such stupid comments if you or your family was involved in a fire and the rescue services couldn't get to you because they were attending to this fool.

Come on fool. Think of the ozone layer. If you did do that, the government would increase the price of petrol.

Another £1-2,000 of taxpayers money wasted. The guy should spend a couple of nights in prison for being a total prat.
