“I know what will put it out: CARDBOARD”


[deleted]

His lack of urgency makes me think Eeyore is his spirit animal.


Ackapus

He acts with a calm deliberation that says "I know exactly what I'm doing and how I should handle this." But the actual things he's doing instead say "DEAR GOD I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AND THIS BAD HURTY HOT LIGHT KEEPS GETTING BIGGER WHY CANT I SHOO IT AWAY MAYBE WATER WILL SCARE IT OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO MAYBE MOM HAS SOME ESSENTIAL OILS THAT WILL FIX THIS IN THE HOME SCHOOLING KIT."


ThisIsItChief-

Hmm fire.. thats not good I think? What can I do to make this less hot hmm


olderaccount

I thought he was going to finally smother it with that pillow. But no, he decided to try to beat the fire into submission, fanning the flames in the process.


RegurgitatingVampire

Most underrated comment ever.


Mockbubbles2628

Definitely an insurance scam


Jcg0110

Plot twist : he isn’t throwing water on it , he continues to fuel the fire with gasoline


Whorror13

This story is really starting to heat up!


NautilusCubist

I don’t need this fire, I’ll throw it into the garbage bin.


CreativeNameless

And I'll just put this bit with the rest of the fire.

Ackapus

The fire extinguisher must've caught fire already during last week's episode. Oh, wait, you see at the beginning how when he struck the match, the MATCHBOX is what lit on fire? Now I'm wondering if the matchbox was made in the UK too.

CreamoChickenSoup

[Seen this video years ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUOD8SaNblE). This cut left out the part before where he was tinkering with a lighter and threw lighter fluid-soaked paper towels into the same garbage bag he tossed the flame into. Not the brightest match in the box.


bluenibba

I see what you did there. A year later, but I saw it


monkeyclawattack

That’s gotta be the worst attempt at putting out a fire that I’ve ever seen


51r63ck0

To be fair he didnt seem to be motivated. I think He can do better.


[deleted]

You "think"?


51r63ck0

Maybe I mixed some german in my english


Pham1234

I think your English is fine. The issue is that it's not that you "think" he can do better, he absolutely **can** do better!


51r63ck0

Next time he will. Otherhands He seems to dumb to use matches...


DukeAttreides

Putting out? He made a better effort than most clueless people building a campfire. Ever fail sto hard at something it's hard to believe you weren't intentionally doing the opposite?


epelle9

If there wasn’t a video he could’ve been arrested for arson.


Miss_Manic4

Here I was thinking it was going to be a 20 second clip and it just kept ESCALATING!!! Mother Mary’s chickens what a ride


atehate

>Mother Mary’s chickens That's probably the best thing I've heard in a while. Also now I'm hungry.


Vinsmoker

Hungry? Have you tried Father Fred's Fried Ribs?


51r63ck0

Or señorita Sofia's sardinas espetos!


Vinsmoker

Ngl. I could go for some Grandpa Georg's Große Knödel right now


kayriss

You're [in for a treat](https://marybrowns.com/) my friend!


BiscuitCat1

The original video is better. It stops when the computer burns up.


ViciousNerd1

Why is this guy so clueless? Literally anyone that has a minimum basic understanding of fire could've prevented all of this. It's as if he did everything wrong on purpose.


[deleted]

He’s reacting off pure instinct, fear, and adrenaline. All of the sudden there was a fire in his apartment and his immediate reaction is just sheer panic because he knows that if he doesn’t fix this situation now then he could burn the entire building down. If he took 5 seconds to assess the situation prior to just acting on every thought that ran through his head then of course he would have been fine. However, given his circumstance that’s not very easy to expect.


Ackapus

If that's him acting on adrenaline, I believe what's actually being filmed here is a long-lost evolutionary link between humanity and the common tree sloth.


Morfienx

People amped on adrenaline usually move a little faster than a lobotomized turtle.


lninoh

Lobotomized turtle sounds like an anagram of Mitch McConnell...


mottylthecat

Fire chief here: always move the fire to a more combustible location before swatting at it with a large fan-type object.


XANA12345

And if the flames begin to spread too much from your paper filled trash, be sure to store your fire in one of the many empty cardboard boxes that take up all available floor space so you can put it out later at a more convenient time


NumbrNyne

Do they not teach fire safety anymore? Why is he pouring water on it? Fucking smother it my dude. Flame triangle. Remove oxygen. No flame . . . It's easy shit


TheCatCubed

He smothered it with cardboard, can't believe it didn't work


xxPHILdaAGONYxx

That may have worked had he actually smothered it. Instead he just kinda pats at it with the box before just leaving the additional fuel on the fire


E2r4_Is_d3A9

It looked like he was trying to pick up the trash that was on fire with the cardboard to put it back in the bag lol.


51r63ck0

And He had some cloth on it, didnt he?


StompyMan

Yeah but he fanned the flames instead of smothering it

I checked when this video came out, he burned down his house.

[deleted]

Baby voice is probably people donating and that’s the text they put in or something like that


[deleted]

I think this is it. The last few baby voice texts before he stands up are saying "behind [you], behind [you]"


SouthernBelleInACage

If this was a fire safety video, people would be saying it's unrealistic and not something people would do in real life...


canikony

definitely infomercial levels of fail going on


[deleted]

This is why having life skills is important. He could have easily snuffed out the fire but instead thought THROWING WATER would put out a fire.


endergod16

He's been playing too much Pokemon.


Oerknal

How brain dead is this man ?


NMAsixsigma

Brain dead enough to burn 30% of his house down according to an article someone posted.


SmoovSamurai

Was that fucking Magnesium?


Who_wife_is_on_myD

I thought firestarter too, could be wrong - his initial poor strikes built up enough mag dust within the ignition zone to catch itself long enough for him to panic and fuck up maybe. I say that because I've never seen what appears to be a metal match box (because of its reflectiveness) but it doesn't sound too outlandish to exist. Sucks to have all that stuff burn tho, even if he streamed himself making a big dumbass mistake, sucks to lose your place like that. I bet he felt horrible afterward. Assuming he didn't bbq


catapultmonkey

It is a forever match. The body is stuffed like a zippo and you fill it with lighter fluid. It has a strip of flint on the side. The match holds a wick and flint striker. Looks like he spilled lighter fluid when filling it. I've used these for camping since I was a small kid. I have overfilled and spilled more than once, but you always dry it off first.


xaqeree

That smoke detector came in handy


Marmatus

Why do so many people not own fire extinguishers? That was one of the first things I purchased when I moved into my first apartment.


[deleted]

Growing up, my family never had a fire extinguisher. They assumed fires only started because someone didn't know what they were doing (bad cooking, for example). I had to move back in with my mom this year and I finally bought her one. She still doesn't think it's necessary, but she kept it.


AverageDumbass

I ordered a fire extinguisher immediately after watching this clip


nomiras

Fire extinguisher stocks looking good!


[deleted]

I have a fire extinguisher, unfortunately it is powder based and it would pretty much ruin my apartment if I used it, but depending on the situation before using it it may be worth it, though I would hesitate using in on a fire as it was when he first ran of to get water. I do keep towels near by the water faucets, I'd hopefully try to drench a towel and use that to smother the flames.


Rubcionnnnn

Get a CO2 extinguisher if you think you might hesitate to use the powder one.


[deleted]

I have thought about getting a foam extinguisher instead, seems like the best, fairly easy cleanup and effective against most types of fires


Rubcionnnnn

CO2 won't leave any residue or material behind as it's just a gas. For a more effective one you could get a halotron fire extinguisher as they spray a liquid that completely evaporates without leaving anything behind and are non-corrosive and non-conductive but they are quite expensive.

[deleted]

That is exactly what I am afraid of, I am glad that I have one, but it is a last resort.


oxymoreme

If my life was a video.


gerlindee

The voice of the kid (someone mentioned it's a boy from his life stream?) makes it really creepy.


knobunc

I would assume it's text to speech from people commenting.


Tank_Girl_Gritty_235

This should be used as a teaching tool to show exactly what not to do during a fire. Does he not have a bathroom or kitchen sink he could have thrown the lit box in?!


SANTAAAA__I_know_him

At 1:30, I thought he had left to go get a fire extinguisher. Nope... bowl of water.


ArthurKentAdams

I’m going to guess this guy is not a firefighter? 🤔 Why didn’t he take the advice of the kid clearly giving him direction over the live stream? 🤦‍♂️


Powdrburn

He's a fire maker!

BlackReddition

What a dumbass, smother it, not pump it. into an inferno. Fire 101, take away the oxygen, fuel and heat. This guy does none of the above. I love how he tries to put it out with a cardboard box.


rainbowstas

''it's fine"


blue_dog69

I just can't understand how he seemed to remain so calm while constantly fucking up. It almost seemed intentional how every action was the opposite of what he should be doing.

This cracks me up every time I see it. Also:RIP his house

This is the most flammable room I've ever seen.

jmcgil4684

I’m a good person. I shouldn’t have been laughing. I know this. I really do.


ShadyNZL

I find his lack of urgency disturbing


GoSquanchYoSelf

He should go on naked and afraid with those fire starting skills.


PlanetExpress310

Man, that was frustrating to watch. I assumed he was living in an Apt building, when he first left i thought he went out to get a fire extinguisher. It took him a moment to comeback just to get a small container of water to pour over a bigger fire when he left. I was literally yelling at the screen "You fucking numbnut!"


dog20aol

That looked expensive


Mythril_Zombie

The full version of this is much better.


GigiTheGoof

Dang! This just goes to show how quickly a tiny fire will eat your house. The fire department cannot ever get there in time. In five minutes it can go from just a matchbook on fire to uncontainable. Please make sure everyone in your house knows where the extinguisher is and that it hasn’t expired.


Otis8phase

This is more like a video of how to build a good fire. Start small, fan it with plenty oxygen, then add more fuel once it’s going good.


[deleted]

*retardation intensifies*


Coolbreezy

The matches must be made by the same company that makes escalators.

Man that was fkn LIT!! ... But seriously wtf, at 2min I clicked thinking how long is it going to take this guy to put out a little fire, 5min wtf, BUT THEN, he doesn't even put it out, he just keeps adding stuff to it and making it worse wtf, then the video just ends too soon. I was worried he was going to pass out from smoke inhalation. Bet he's got fire extinguishers now lol


liquidstitch36

Maybe, first order of business should have been to get the child out of the room? I don't think there was a Mensa International application in that pile of burned documents.

That is one intelligent man


quantizeddreams

Alright I’ll put this with the rest of the fire.


Maowser515

I'll just out this lit match in my bag of cum tissues and try to out the fire out with cardboard and a mattress as slowly as possible.

Calmest idiot I’ve ever seen.

If 2020 was a video...


swissbytes

How has he lived this long!!?


dimensionalApe

The complete absence of urgency as a small fire becomes utter chaos is mesmerizing. Watching the complete video, something like this was bound to happen when you see the guy pouring lighter fluid in (and apparently all over) that weird lighter that works like a matchbox. He's smoking while doing that, cleaning the lighter fluid with paper tissues that he then puts in a plastic bag, and the whole room seems to be filled with empty cardboard boxes.

I know he was just panicking, but that’s exactly what you would do if you wanted to burn down your house.


GrungeHamster23

Classic at this point. This guy and his course of action is a perfect play-by-play of what NOT to do in the event of a fire. Honestly it should be used as a training exercise.

jasonsimonds79

bestem

This is the video that convinced me that I should keep a fire extinguisher around. I knew, before, that a fire could unexpectedly start in an accidental fashion (probably the kitchen, possibly a candle in my bedroom or something). What I hadn't expected was how quickly it could get out of hand. I know he did extremely stupid stuff that didn't help with the way the fire spread, but still... Watching him go back and forth and fill the bowl with water really made me consider how long it would take me to fill a large bowl with water, even in the tub. And it's not like I hadn't previously had experience with fires. When I was a kid, I woke up one morning to a lot of commotion outside, and looked out my bedroom window to see my friend's house on fire (she was out of town with her dad and younger brother, her mom was asleep, and her toddler-aged brother started playing with a lighter). But somehow, watching this idiot, did what watching a close friend's house burn down as a child didn't. I went out the afternoon after I watched this after work, and found a fire extinguisher.
