From a pole high in the air, Franie Weir drops to a burning tank below. Blut before plunging into the tank, he saturates himself with something inflammable, sets himself afire, and with the flames surrounding him completely, he drops 85 feet in the darkness to a tank covered with burning oil. This is a free attraction of the Tip Top Shows that will take place every night of the fair next week.
