singed

Those who hopped the fence returned with photos of what looked like a burned encampment: dozens of pull-tab cans, a grill, and the singed remains of fans, a microwave, and a rug.

As of Friday afternoon, more than 20,700 acres had burned — the majority singed on Wednesday — and crews said the fire was 7% contained.

I admit to some nerves when I flambé, even though I have never had anything remotely scary occur — no eyebrows singed, no black smoke marks above the stove.

The Slipknot DJ and keyboard player singed off his eyebrows and “melted” much of his skin after a bonfire exploded while he was working on his farm.

He said he had “serious burns” to his face and arms and that the incident had singed his eyebrows and blistered his mouth.
