A Chinese mall burst into huge flames after a naughty boy lit a paper and threw it into cardboard.

In the CCTV video, filmed in Nanjing City in Jiangsu Province on December 18, a six-year-old boy uses a lighter to start a fire in a corridor, causing a huge fire in a mall.

On-duty workers from the company’s mini fire station arrive on site immediately and use extinguishers to put out the fire in less than two minutes.

According to reports, the boy’s mum was a shopkeeper and was busy with her business while her son was playing around.

However, the naughty boy found a lighter and used it to light a paper before throwing it into the pile of cardboard.

Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
