Meet a 58-year-old homeless man from Czech Republic who can not sleep peacefully until he creates a sleeping place composed of hot ash and dust. About a year ago Mr Dolezal quited his job and was carried away with fire. Since then he lives in an abandoned old house and every night burns stuff to keep himself warm.
Futhermore, to achieve the perfect pile of smoldering ashes he burnt everything he ever had: jacket, boots, mattresses and even a duvet. People familiar with the Mr Dolezal's obsession bring him old tyres and other things as winters in their region are unbearably cold.
Mr Dolezal starts and ends his day with fire. He burns everything that he can find: wood from bushes that grow around his place, boards from surrounding sheds, foam from a mattress, even rubber and tyres.
The man claims that tyres are very good for building a fire as they make a good heat. The only minus is smoke but he has found a way out - he just leaves a firelace awhile. The man understands that he differs from others and says that passers-by often refer to him as a devil from fairytales.
But not only open flame bewitches Mr Dolezal one more thing affects his life - cigarettes - as he smokes all the time, about a packet a day. Despite some breathing problems he insists that he breathes better when he smokes.
Supposedly the man suffers from a psychological disorder which makes him want to share his life with fire and ash. He receives government care - $136 for a month - but there's some restrictions as he may burn it too. Actually the money are given to a local shop where Mr Dolezal can buy food and everything he needs for the day.
