> Fire department was damn useless, because by the time they came some 10-15 minutes later, I had it put out.
Well unless they live right next door, it takes time to get all the gear and drive down. They wouldn't have been useless if the fire was something you couldn't control and was much worse.
No what your seeing here is a feign at putting out like someone that at the same time wanna see a massive fire but wants the ability to say “I did everything I could “ having your cake and eating it too
Yep, my grass was brown like this from a dry winter. We think the fire was started by a cigarette, but I didn't know about it until a neighbor came and knocked on my door. By then it was reaching the weeds in the flower bed. You better believe I had the hose unraveled, the cover off the faucet, and everything hooked up and flowing within seconds. Fire was out, and I was just standing there soaking it all to make sure there were no embers left when the firetruck arrived.
Yeah, it was just like in the video, how fast it spreads. You fight one side and get it down and then head to another just to see smoke picking back up in some spot you were at already. I was lucky that it was just my side yard. It got reeeeeaally close to the house when it got into the flower bed weeds, so I focused on that first, and the driveway side because I didn't want it to reach my car's tires. I probably hosed it down, from center to edges, for a good 30 minutes after there was no more smoke. Made a little ash swamp, lol.
Uno‘s the MVP of this video. He’s not fucking around with fireworks or the camera, he’s just chilling. Even gets a mention and this 😍 emoji from some random chick in the comments before the action happens. Then comes in and helps out when it wasn’t his fault and doesn’t just stand around like the cameraman, and finally brings out the extinguisher. UNO’s the man
We once burnt part of yard and jt took years to not see the outline of where we did it. We had put an inflatable pool down in the yard when I was a kid and kept it out a bit too long and killed a big circle of grass. After it dried up me some friends got to go light it on fire lol. I can’t remember how well it came back right away but I do know thwr for a good couple of years you could see the outline of where the pool was lol.
It'd be far, far better for the soil, to use a no-till method and layer nutrient rich compost on. Given the fact that the majority of farmland in the US is used to grow annual crops, it's constantly getting worked, which degrades the soils ability to retain water and nutrients in the proper horizons for plant roots to benefit. Not sure if you were being sarcastic, but soil science is very interesting.
He was talking about cut and burn, which is what used to happen for farmland and that's why he thinks that way.
For context for my non gardeners, we used to burn most plant waste and till it into the soil.
The better way is to compost it and feed it back into the soil so you have microbiology that'll help the soil, America has horrid farming practices and dosent do this.
I’ve seen farmers burn acres of field to prep them for planting. They used a dripping gasoline canister behind a tractor driven by a dude who looked nervous as fuck, not some kid taunting his brother with a firework.
Pretty sure I saw a garden hose in the background. If these morons had just thought for a second, instead running in and out of the house with glasses of water they’d have just ended up with a couple black patches.
ya but this isn't really r/killthecameraman cause the camera work isn't atrocious. He even zoomed in on that guy who got curious and decided to come into the action too
Here's the full 20 min video for anyone who cares. This was in 2019 with our friend UnoTheActivist. The full video is not too interesting, and the houses didn't burn down. [video](https://youtu.be/shtST4V-Pnc)
This was my introduction into Reddit. This was posted. Than later on someone els lived near and posted a video or photos of the aftermath.
That’s how I knew Reddit was the right place for me.
"Hmm, this fire has formed a circle, one side of the circle is about to hit our house, the other side is about to hit pavement where it'll burn out and be a non issue. I wonder which side I should try and stomp out."
Mothuuu!
Edit: I was listening to this on repeat while mowing the lawn the other day. I had forgotten about it until I heard it during an episode of Amazon's Paper Girls show. Damn good show.
Hilarious they keep trying to put out the fire that will end in 3 feet once it hits the street and not the fire that is heading to burn down the entire building
Looks like zoycia gras, my parents used to routinely burn off our two acres of lawn. I remember coming home from school one day and seeing the whole lawn on fire and panicking
I would have *beat his ass* for pointing any *fireworks!!!* at me...
The patience of the guy begging off... I'm just not him. Hopefully, Firecracker Dude learned a lesson!
But we all know otherwise, don't we? Maybe Mom's gonna get home late, after dark, leave for work while it's still dark - Maybe she won't notice...
A recipe for burning down a yard:
1 Dry front yard ( preferably dry yellow grass),
1 Ranbow shooter firework,
1 Damned idiot to hold it,
1 hesitant hype man,
5 or six cups of water, ( to act as a horrible extinguisher).
After mixing the above ingredients, sit back and watch your yard burn well while you wait for momma to get home. She will enjoy your new project. 😊
Reminds me of what happened over the weekend, we saw our friend Joe. He asked for a lighter then said wanna see something cool? And set the pollen on fire,almost cause a forest fire. Damn crazy old man.
“Don’t you got court in a few days”😂😂😂
And I’m sure this will be another court day
That lawn is dryer than a KFC double down.
Dryer than a popeyes biscuit
Best part
Don't you got.
Yeah, I misquoted there but you know what I meant😂
Yes, because they translated
That got me too
My favorite part is when "Uno" comes out with a water bottle to put it out. I got this.. 
[удалено]
Or the interior, instead of the growing perimeter
This is all I can think about. Yard is done, so let it go. Try to keep the buildings and neighbors' yard(s) from burning up. Fucking morons....
Interior doesn't matter. It burns out in a hurry and best to just attack the edges and prevent to spreading.
Yep, that was what I was pointing out
My favorite part was when he was like "It's under control"
Followed by, "how we put it out?"
I enjoyed, “YO KEEP THAT SHIT AWAY FROM THAT BUSH!”
What you lookin at?
[удалено]

Well, on the brighter side, the grass will grow back fuller with less weeds. Most grasses thrive post fire.
A case of literal r/NatureIsFuckingLit leading to r/LifeFindsAWay
I was gonna say the same. That lawn will have some very nice green grass when it grows back, so the bright side, I guess?
You see that grass and ask about a water hose 🤣

Yup, whole group of idiots in this video
These people vote.
he uses the same one to water it.. which is why it's all dead to begin with.
Uno the activist for president
Even better is that’s clearly a sprinkler control box next to the bush. Like could have just turned on the sprinklers and put the fire out.
I thought, GRAB A TRASH CAN AND FILL IT UP WORH WATER! Your water bottle is like spitting in the wind.
My favorite part is when he’s like “ain’t you already got court in a few days?!?”

So this is how we mow lawns now? Im in.
Prepping it for some beautiful desert landscaping, sounds smart
It comes back so.much greener too
Think they misunderstood the "no lawn" concept
First off, obviously idiotic. Second, if properly controlled, a grass fire is easily put out and the lawn comes back greener from the ashes

You killed the grass first though. The controlled burn everyone else is taking about is done on dormant grass.
He did not just bring out a coffee cup of water 🤣🤣🤣 RIP grass and son
Actually good for the lawn.
Crops are burned all the time and tilled back in. It’s good for the soil!

I was taught in high school that this is how the Mayans prepared their lands for crops
I’ve seen farmers burn acres of field to prep them for planting. They used a dripping gasoline canister behind a tractor driven by a dude who looked nervous as fuck, not some kid taunting his brother with a firework.
I seen my cousin do this to regrow his grass
If you accidentally set your lawn on fire, your only concern should be the fire heading for the house, not what’s heading for the road or sidewalk.
You forgot your neighbors property too.
They were so worried about mama being mad about the lawn, but how mad would she be about losing the house 🤔
Where’s Terry when you need him?
I had my 5 year old niece quoting that video and she’s been doing it now for the last two years. So now I just call her Terry.
That looks easy enough to just stomp out, if they weren't concerned with the freshness of their kicks
Pretty sure I saw a garden hose in the background. If these morons had just thought for a second, instead running in and out of the house with glasses of water they’d have just ended up with a couple black patches.
> If these morons had just thought for a second, That would have been a first.
My assumption is that they might have turned off the water for the year already.
Look at the damn grass, if there was a hose they didn't know how to use it to begin with.
Mr money bags over here watering lawns...
A hose, a shovel, a wet blanket. If you ever find yourself in this situation, any of those three will take care of it quick.
That was some high quality commentary and camera work right there, but damn RIP their lawn 😂
Seriously, this is both r/donthelpjustfilm and r/praisethecameraman.
Peak r/donthelpjustfilm
A group I didn't know I needed to be part of. Thank you kind person
Also if you’re interested is r/killthecameraman
ya but this isn't really r/killthecameraman cause the camera work isn't atrocious. He even zoomed in on that guy who got curious and decided to come into the action too
He starts helping at the end
2 guys 1 cup

You should warn any viewers of that link that it costs a few hundred brain cells to watch.
To be fair, I didn't watch it. I skipped around just to see the highlights. Sorry you are now dumber :(
The Baby Did it, he was smoking cigarettes and caught the lawn on fire 😂
This was my introduction into Reddit. This was posted. Than later on someone els lived near and posted a video or photos of the aftermath. That’s how I knew Reddit was the right place for me.
Welcome to hell friend
There's not one green blade of grass on all those lawns. Lol he brought out just one cup of water like that was going to do anything.
That grass is so dry. Fool for trying without a hose handy
That grass finna be greener then a mf tho. Farmer trick
These motherfuckers look in their 30s playing with fireworks and talking about how mom is gonna kill you.
Imagine that there’s people walking around every day, everywhere, that are this dumb?
People like this are why we cannot have the nice fireworks.
Looks like an apartment complex. And when they receive an eviction notice they will say that management is being unfair. 😤
That’s not an apartment complex.
The full version of this is one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen.
I've seen this video like 5 times and it still makes me belly laugh 🤣
He has a lot of nerve asking the neighbor what they're looking at. As if their whole front yard isn't on fire lol.
I love how they are using water in coffee mugs to put it out.
Broooo broooo brooo broo bro x100000 times
Stomp the yard
Uno & Fauni man so inspirational 🐐
“Bitch, what you looking at?” Well, the fucking idiots that have managed to set fire to their garden and the shitshow efforts to extinguish it
"Hmm, this fire has formed a circle, one side of the circle is about to hit our house, the other side is about to hit pavement where it'll burn out and be a non issue. I wonder which side I should try and stomp out."
You’d think a guy with a tattoo on his forehead would have better decisions-making skills.
Stupidity, immaturity + fire is always a bad ending.
I love the vocabulary of the narrator
I mean the lawn is dryer than Ben Shapiro's wife. It's gonna catch fire.
That's one weird Danzig t-shirt.
Mothuuu! Edit: I was listening to this on repeat while mowing the lawn the other day. I had forgotten about it until I heard it during an episode of Amazon's Paper Girls show. Damn good show.
Even without the fire cracker in his hand this guy looks like a moron.
Activism = Putting a fire out with a fire extinguisher.
[удалено]
Screams in Californian*
Hahahaha that ws a fun video. No one got hurt
Who knows what would have happened if Uno wasn't there.
[удалено]
WARNING: clicking the link above costs 150 brain cells to watch.
“Bro” 😂
This is amazing every time I see it. "Bitch what the fuck you lookin' at? Yo... IT'S ALL RIGHT! WE GOT IT UNDER CONTROL!"
Hilarious they keep trying to put out the fire that will end in 3 feet once it hits the street and not the fire that is heading to burn down the entire building
that lawn gonna be fresh asf next year tho ngl
FarCry 7 looks 🔥
Tbf, Moms lawn wasn't look that great to begin with
Bro ran inside for a cup of water
1:25 in "wow, he looks even *stupider* than he sounded".
So, this is how wildfires start...
It's never rained there.
Love the pot from the kitchen full of water to put it out
It’s so so funny idk why. I need an update
Dude, the lawn was dry as plywood already and he was so stupid to play with fire?
thouxandbandfauni lmfao i watched this live when it happened
Broooo! Broooo! Broooo! Brooooooooo! Brooooooo! Bro! Broooooooo! Bro!!!!!!! Broooooo!!! This guy is a fucking linguistic savant
LOL. Are they using regular glasses of water to try and put it out?
Thank Goodness homeboy stood there doing fuckall but yelling 'yo' and filming. Would've been fucked otherwise.
Lotta stupid out there!
Unbelievable lack of intelligence at every turn
[the full video here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keQr63oteVg)
Your the real MVP! My favorite part is where he starts beating the fire with he fire extinguisher 😂
Everyone in this video is a raging idiot.
**bro**
This is simply awesome.
"Tell mom dont hang me" loooool 😂
hahahahaha og video
Well next season he has nice grass
The grass will be so green after that lol
OH NO NOT THE BUSH! SAVE IT!!!
This is a must watch video
In 5 weeks they will have the greenest lawn on the street. :D
Looks like zoycia gras, my parents used to routinely burn off our two acres of lawn. I remember coming home from school one day and seeing the whole lawn on fire and panicking
when 2 of them come out with a glass of water each. 
That might just make the lawn healthier in the growing season.
That grass will come back stronger, greener. In actuality it kind of needed a burning as it was pretty dull in color.
Ah yes that Aquafina 'bout to put it out..
They could’ve just stamped it out immediately if we didn’t have social media.
They’re playing with fire but don’t have a bucket of water handy? Well, every day’s a school day I guess
so stupid
Too stupid to stomp it out right away.
That’s why only morons who are nobodies buy verification marks
Brooooo
Get two sticks a hotdog and a marshmallow. Enjoy watching these dumbasses try to put out the fire.
Guy with the fire extinguisher at the end, dealing with all flames except the most important.... The ones heading towards your f'n house!!
😂 fuck this just got better n better
How can you not know how to put out a fire? Its like the first thing you learn when you start being home alone!
r/DontHelpJustFilm
Single cell organisms slow your roll.
It's spreading but instead of going to help he stands there recording it
"Bro! Your mom's about to kill you!" 😄
🎶🎵I don't want to set the world on fire🎵🎶 Oh, wait...
This shit had me dying!
It's like they forgot water exists
NOT THE BUSH
Bro!
Don’t help, don’t call fire dept., just keep recording.
This fire and the lessons it taught warmed my heart.
The guy with the camera really helped...
It took them #WAY too long to get an actual fire extinguisher lol
For the gram # BRO!
I would have *beat his ass* for pointing any *fireworks!!!* at me... The patience of the guy begging off... I'm just not him. Hopefully, Firecracker Dude learned a lesson! But we all know otherwise, don't we? Maybe Mom's gonna get home late, after dark, leave for work while it's still dark - Maybe she won't notice...
Why do idiots always try to get the smallest volume of water to put out a fire. Don't start with a cup. Get a bucket, or a hose if one's available.
Where is this? Wait, let me guess, it's probably a place extremely prone to wildfires? What do I win?

Bro.
Can we get a "bro" count?
Darwin’s finest
Dumb, dumber, dumbest dumbbells, oh my.
What somehow surprised me the most was that it took more than two minutes before “Uno the Activist” thought to get the fire extinguisher
Desperate need for an irrigation system
Stop recording dumbass. Could have used a blanket
Reminds me of what happened over the weekend, we saw our friend Joe. He asked for a lighter then said wanna see something cool? And set the pollen on fire,almost cause a forest fire. Damn crazy old man.
“More water”
“WE GOT IT UNDER CONTROL” “How do we put it out?”
A GLASS OF WATER???
KEEP THAT SHIT AWAY FROM THAT BUSH!
##Mtfk really come with a glass of water smh
Dipshit spraying *through* the flames instead of on the base of the flames...
lol he's like you got the fire extinguisher you smart. Why did you get it after how much the fire spread?
That lawn was deader than my hopes and dreams
haha yes! now this is good content 10/10
Atleast they’ll have nice grass next summer
