Winnipeg dragon sculpture capable of breathing fire [Video]

A Winnipeg sculptor’s latest creation could also double as a house guard.

Leigh Keast, who lives on Aberdeen Avenue, has created a dragon made of snow and ice on his front lawn that is capable of shooting fire.

“It’s one-of-a-kind, I believe,” the sculptor told CTV News Winnipeg.

Keast said the idea of a fire-breathing dragon came to him one day, and he decided to sculpt it.

“It took a little bit longer than normal, really, because I didn’t really have any fresh snow,” he said. “Once the snow becomes crusty, you can’t really use it.”

A line runs through the sculpture and is connected to a propane tank, allowing fire to come from the dragon’s mouth.
