Ludvik Dolezal, 58, burns whatever he finds to create his ‘bed’ before crawling into it to sleep.
He has even burnt his mattress and duvet in order to achieve the perfect mound of fiery remains.Mr Dolezal, who passers-by often refer to as a devil from fairytales, said: ‘A year ago I simply decided to quit my job. Since then I've staying here with the fire.‘Every night I lay down with hot ash in my clothes and cover myself to keep warm. I look like hell then.‘I had everything – jacket, boots, mattresses and even a duvet. But I burnt everything because there was nothing else to keep the fire going.‘People help me, they bring some old tyres here for example and I burn them.‘I keep the fire going all day and in the evening at 7.30 I go to sleep.’Mr Dolezal, who lives in an abandoned old farmhouse, is said to suffer from a psychological disorder which makes him want to share his life with fire and ash.Despite the freezing cold winters of his home town, Novy Bydzov, in the Czech Republic, he wears just a fleece, which is dyed black from the smoke.‘I mostly burn wood from bushes that grow around,’ he added.‘But it has to be dry to glow. When I don't have enough of it I grab an axe and cut boards from surrounding sheds.‘I burn even rubber, that's not a problem. And if I have foam from a mattress I'll throw it on there as well.‘The tyres are very good, they make a good heat. But there is smoke as well so then I need to go out for a while.
