Schoolgirl injured and room set ablaze after deodorant can explodes

A schoolgirl has been left with a burn and blisters after a can of deodorant exploded and set her bedroom on fire.

Deja Kelly was sitting on her bed next to a can of deodorant last night when it suddenly exploded next to her and set her bedding on fire. Her mum, Jacqueline, was downstairs when she heard a massive bang she first thought was a wardrobe falling over.

When the 39-year-old saw that flames had erupted in the teen's bedroom, she ran for towels, drenched them in water and flung them on the flames to put them out. Luckily, the banking customer assistant managed to put the fire out and her daughter walked away with slight burns on her leg.
