WATCH A VIDEO OF SCHOOL BOYS:
A shocking video circulating on social media has left many parents and community members deeply concerned after a group of schoolboys were seen doing something extremely dangerous — smoking from a fire extinguisher.
In the disturbing footage, the boys, believed to be learners at a local school, are seen releasing chemicals from a fire extinguisher and deliberately inhaling the fumes as if they were smoking. The video shows them laughing and encouraging one another while clouds of white chemical powder fill the air.
Health experts warn that fire extinguishers contain chemicals that are extremely dangerous to inhale. These substances are designed to put out fires, not to be breathed into the lungs. Inhaling the powder or gas can lead to serious breathing problems, chemical burns in the throat, lung damage, or even poisoning.
Parents and community members who saw the clip quickly expressed outrage online, saying the behaviour shows how easily children can be influenced by dangerous trends on social media. Many are calling on schools to take stronger action to educate learners about the risks of such reckless behaviour.
Incidents like these are becoming more common as learners try to impress their peers online. “Children often don’t realize the consequences. Something they think it is funny. It can cost them their health or even their lives.
Parents are now urging schools to increase supervision and to hold awareness sessions about peer pressure, social media challenges, and substance abuse.
Authorities have also warned that misusing emergency equipment like fire extinguishers is not only dangerous but can also lead to disciplinary action.
As the video continues to spread online, many people are hoping it will serve as a serious wake-up call. What started as a reckless stunt could easily have ended in tragedy.
