The incident took place on August 7 last year, when a young man who worked as a barber was drinking beer with his father. After taking a few puffs from his e-cigarette, the young man decided to put it out and placed it in his pocket. He continued chatting with his father.

Then he noticed smoke coming out of his pocket where he had placed his electronic device. Just a few seconds later, the e-cigarette exploded, causing a big fire that forced him to take off his pants.

I saw smoke coming out of my pocket and when I put my hand on it, it caught fire. I had to run over and take off my pants," the victim told Ayrshire Live.

Several local activists came to the aid of a 26-year-old man after they witnessed flames emerging from his pants. They were able to extinguish the fire that had begun to spread. The young man was subsequently transferred to the emergency room at the Crosshouse Hospital in the United Kingdom for treatment.

After analyzing the injuries and incident E, the doctor decided to clean the wound and purge the liquid from the electronic cigarette.

Doctor had to remove skin from my thigh for a skin graft. I am now covered in bruises. My fingers, except for my middle finger, are covered in blisters, with three or four large blisters on my palms." Blair Turnbull complained about the surgery he had to undergo to repair the skin damage caused by an exploding e-cigarette during the accident.
