VIDEO: Dallas TV reporter burns foot during live shot

No matter what the other talent might say, it is tough being a morning show feature reporter sometimes. Just ask roving Good Day reporter Fiona Gorostiza of Fox 4 KDFW in Dallas. She burned her foot live on the air during a fire walking stunt:

In a myfoxdfw.com account headlined "Good Day's Firewalking Fiasco," the station says that Gorostiza felt a coal sizzling on the bottom of her bare foot while walking across hot coals during an outdoor segment at Fair Park conducted by the Firewalking Institute of Research and Education.

"By noon, she had a pretty unattractive blister which she covered with a bandage," the Fox4 account says. "Later on, Fiona went to a doctor, and discovered she had suffered a second-degree burn." READ THE REST

You can watch the video of the event here. It's tough to ignore the anchors egging you on I guess. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
