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.
(*The voice you hear in the background seems to be computer-generated voice of comments posted onto his live feed.)

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.
