On the 2nd of August, 1973, three boys were playing on the miniature golf course outside the Summerland Leisure Centre on the Isle of Man. They ducked into an empty ticket booth so that they could share a cigarette. The oldest boy in the group was just 14. Their only worry at the time was being caught smoking... but they would soon have bigger concerns. A dropped match started a fire, which grew rapidly out of control. Panicking, the three boys fled. They would live to see another day, but dozens of people who were inside Summerland when the fire began would not.
