Some people just shouldn't play with fire. Apparently, a fire broke out in Ehime prefecture on October 4th.

It turns out that the guy who caused the fire was livecasting the whole thing. The footage is a great example as to how not to react in an event of fire.

1. Don't start the fire in the first place

This guy was playing around with an oil match:

The idea is to put an oil in the steel container, which is used as fuel to start a fire. But due to his clumsiness, the guy smears oil all over the container.

So when he finally lights the fire, the smeared oil outside the container catches fire... obviously:

While he tries to put out the fire on the container, the guy places the 'match stick' - which is soaked in oil - into a rubbish bag. Yes - rubbish bag full of flammable items:

And that too, catches fire.

2. Try and not put out a fire with paper or duvet...

Or maybe have a fire extinguisher in your home

Well, people agree - after this video went viral online, people are ordering them on Amazon. So much so that fire extinguishers are placed to the top of the sales ranking:

While we are not entirely certain about all the facts surrounding this video, it seems that it really happened. In any case, it is a great example of what not to do in an event of fire. Below are some links providing what you should do instead:
