Seconds later, Owens’s 12-year-old daughter, Timiyah Landers, came tearing down the hallway, engulfed in flames from her knees to her hair. As Sholar doused the teen in cold water, Owens grabbed at her daughter’s flaming clothes with her bare hands, ripping them off. “I was reaching through the fire,” Owens said, adding that she didn’t even realize she had burned her hands. Doctors told Owens that Timiyah will be hospitalized for at least the next few months and has about four more surgeries left. Though she hasn’t been able to ask Timiyah what happened, Owens said the other girls explained that they were doing the fire challenge.
