[quote=BBC News][B]A fire chief has criticised a woman who used a barbecue indoors to dry clothes that led to six people, including her grandchildren, being taken to hospital.[/B]
Two adults and four children in East Ham, east London, had to be treated for carbon monoxide poisoning, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said.
London Ambulance Service (LAS) was called on Wednesday at about 16:20 GMT.
Fire brigade head, Dave Brown, said it was the first incident of its kind he had seen in 28 years.
[B]'Serious fire risk'[/B]
Mr Brown, head of operations, prevention and response, said: "I have never heard of anybody using a barbecue to dry clothes let alone using one indoors."
He branded the woman's behaviour "dangerous".
LFB said the elderly woman lit the barbecue in the garden of the home in Hockley Avenue and then placed it in the kitchen with the door open.
She left the house with her four grandchildren, aged between 10 months and four, and two daughters-in-law, aged 26 and 29, inside. Someone then closed the door.
LAS said it responded to reports of people collapsing and the patients were taken to Whipps Cross Hospital. They have since been released.
Mr Brown said: "Never, ever bring a lit or smouldering barbecue indoors.
"Not only is it a serious fire risk but it also emits carbon monoxide which is a poisonous gas that can kill or seriously injure."
Carbon monoxide is produced when fuels such as gas, oil, charcoal, coal and wood do not burn completely.
In April last year, a six-year-old girl died after inhaling carbon monoxide fumes from a barbecue her parents had brought into their tent to keep her warm at a campsite at Bransgore in the New Forest, Hampshire.[/quote]
What a fucking cripple.
That's pretty much all there is to be said, seriously who the fuck uses a barbeque indoors let alone to dry some fucking clothes?
how... how are you this dumb
Why would anybody be so fucking stupid to do this?
How did she think that was a good idea?
I read about this on the BBC News site earlier and I think the sheer stupidity caused me to grow a brain tumour.
the title makes my OCD levels go sky high
Oh fuck I spelt woman wrong
yep
Elderly woman. I'm guessing dementia or something along those lines, it can make you do incredibly dumb/weird stuff like this.
To be honest ignoring the smoke problem it's easy to forget that BBQ's create carbon monoxide.
how the flying fuck i don't even
someone please help me i don't even know what the fuck i'm reading here
This is right up there with using gasoline as an interior cleaning solvent. Some people turn off their brains and don't think about the greater possible consequences of their actions.
"I'll just clean this floor oh look at the stain going away--" FWOOOOOOOOSH
I guess she was cooking up some T-shirt steak, huh?

How that difficult to remember? You have to be genuinely ignorant or stupid to not know this.

That's just depressing, can't imagine how those parents feel.
Scientific illiteracy combined with a null-aptitude for common sense.
Why is everyone so hard on her for the wrong thing, carbon monoxide poisoning isn't really the most widely known phenomenon, especially for an old woman her age. It'd be the same reason some people don't know that in a fire you're more likely to die from the carbon monoxide first than the fire itself.
Only saying this because people are calling her all sorts of things for not knowing of the hazards of carbon monoxide poisoning, as opposed to her bizarre method of drying clothes and the fire risk it poses.

But it's common sense to never lit a FUCKING FIRE INDOORS.
How can someone that retarded live to be that old?
Mmm... Barbecue'd clothes...
Anyone got some ketchup?

Opps.
Stupidity knows no bounds.

Nobody cares, man. You done did good, boy.
Reminds me of when I walked in on my housemate (who is in his final year for a masters degree in mechanical engineering) attempting to heat his room up by taping down the switch on a kettle and endlessly boiling water.
I dry my clothes in the oven.

I dry my baby in the microwave.

Those bitch!
oh god, when I read the title i visualised a woman trying to hang her clothes vertically or something completely retarded, and the people in the background would die magically from her stupidity
She did it wrong. I do this all the time and nothing bad happens to me! *Coughs*
