A woman has revealed how she was left scarred for life after accidentally falling into a bonfire at a friend’s BBQ. Alisa Angelini, 29, from Steilacoom, Washington State, US, tripped over her flip flop and rolled down a hill, landing straight into the open flames. Thankfully, the medical administration student mustered the strength to pull herself out and was swiftly airlifted to hospital. Alisa suffered third-degree burns to 22% of her body and was forced to undergo five skin grafts.
