Beware melted Crocs

An 8-year-old boy out walking with family members in Colorado Springs severely burned part of his foot on an underground patch of burning coal dust that had heated the ground to 800 degrees Fahrenheit.

The boy, whose name was not released, suffered second-degree burns as the fire melted his Crocs shoe.

I wear Crocs in the garden all the time and they have not melted yet, but I guess I better be careful.
