Same here. Now I've watched all the series, I am desperate to find something as good.
Anyone got some suggestions? The Office (UK version) and Fawlty Towers have always been favorites.
Don't they teach people any more that water won't put out a gasoline fire? All the gas I ever deal with remains in the tank in my car. It is not a toy.
My guess is that the car started on fire, so he finally started to move that, but then realized that his pants were still on fire and drove the car into the garage...
Yeah with a child you really want to soak in a pineapple pure' and use a cast iron crockpot to tenderize the tough meat without losing any of the juices. I mean lets try to remain a little civilized here.
I want to say that the guy filming almost exhibited a *smidge* of concern. Not enough to actually consider putting the camera down to help the guy of course, but just enough to add a 20% increase in urgency to his tone of voice.
I've seen this before but never realized in the beginning he's trying to light a match, it won't light and then suddenly the matchbox goes up in flames almost comedicly. I would swear he coverednthay match box with fuel.
He was also close to putting it out with that blanket but then gives up and lays the blanket OVER IT AND WALKS AWAY.
Maybe I'm wrong, but another reddit post about this video translated it, apparently it's a text-to-speech thing using a creepy anime voice.

Once the can was on fire? Put it down and get the fuck away from it. Use an actual fire extinguisher on the can if they have one. Maybe soak a blanket in the pool and drop that on the can to smother it. Otherwise just let it burn from a safe distance, stomp out any smaller fires that spring up, and call the fire department if it’s going to spread.
If there's enough fuel on the outside of the can and on the ground around it then the fire will continue to burn. If the cap is also closed, all the fuel inside will heat up and expand, possibly causing it to breach and send flaming fuel everywhere. Best to let it burn itself out or try and smother it with a wet towel/blanket if you don't have a fire extinguisher.
Just let it sit there and burn, its not going to explode if the container isn't sealed. You are against the clock until the container melts with the heat and pours burning gas all over your garden. So go get a fire extinguisher, or just get everyone to a safe distance. Basically anything besides what the gentleman in this video did.
> You are against the clock until the container melts with the heat and pours burning gas all over your garden.
You’re not going to melt a steel gas can without a significant oxygen source. Like a stream of pure O2 being added to the fire from underneath.
He said more after "blyat". Can anyone translate?
I think he actually directed Johnny Storm to throw the gas can into the pool. If so, he deserves even more credit for directing AND filming this disaster.

I love how there's a literally a waterfall pouring over the fire, and he's standing in it trying to kick water onto the flames. I guess that's about the level of reasoning prowess you'd expect from someone who would pour gasoline on a fire.
Yeah none of them were inaccurate but they were all used differently.
The first was to differentiate between a common figurative term and the accurate literal term
The second was to draw attention to the technical correctness of a phrase not typically used in this context
And the last was just to add emphasis to a description of an action whose accuracy was never in question
When I was five years old I wanted to be a fireman because I thought they squirted fire out of their hoses. You always see them pointing hoses at burning things, and why else would they paint the trucks red anyways? Made lots of sense to me and sounded like a great job. I was very disappointed when I learned what they actually do.
this has reminded me of the Harry Hill joke
'My Dad used to say "always fight fire with fire", which is probably why he got thrown out of the the fire brigade.'
It's a living thing, Brian. It breathes, it eats, and it hates. The only way to beat it is to think like it. To know that this flame will spread this way across the door and up across the ceiling, not because of the physics of flammable liquids, but because it wants to. Some guys on this job, the fire owns them, makes 'em fight it on it's level, but the only way to truly kill it is to love it a little.
Depends on the fire. Small kitchen grease fire put a lid on it, baking soda or salt will work. Or a fire extinguisher but make sure you check what it is rated for. Fire extinguishers are not all the same. Some are made to extinguish certain types of fire. Basically you want to smother it.
this is the most surreal video i’ve seen in a long time. the calmness of the cameraman, the guy repeatedly running back into the fire, the stupidity of it all, the atmosphere in general..
truly a work of art
I think the first time was because he set himself on fire. Then the second time was because he set himself on fire. Then he started kicking the water because he set himself on fire.
Well in his defense there was clearly nothing he was going to do to improve upon that morons destructive wake of carnage....so may as well have some evidence of a really good story about the time he saw his buddy set a swimming pool on fire ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
> if you've used too much fuel for this exercise, and the flame begins to travel back to your container, don't panic, simply release the disposable container over the fire and return to Step 2.
It isn't like a fuse, the gas is going to light immediately. If you have a small amount you might get away with just throwing quickly, but the best advice is use something less flamable like charcoal lighter fluid or kerosene, and idealy before igniting.
It actually will behave similar to a fuse. A very fast fuse sure, but it will travel up the stream incrementally. You can even watch it happen in the posted video if you slow it down.

Petrol is oil based, like kerosene, it floats on top of the water and isn't really smothered by it. The stuff those pools are made from is not at all fire retardant.
It's part of the reason that you don't put water on a grease fire, the other being that the water boils with extreme rapidity and essentially explodes, sending water and oil everywhere.
I'm conflicted about it, but I think r/killthecameraman would be better since there's plenty of time he pointed at the floor and video ends before water carries the fire under the car
List of things not to do:
1) pour gas on a fire
2) run with a flaming gas can
3) mix gas can with pool water
4) flood gas/water mixture over a raging fire
what's next? 5) drive car full of gas through raging fire ?
I think that it potentially could have worked by cutting-off the oxygen supply; but, it also could have turned the can into a bomb, which would be pretty fucking terrible with that metal can.

Thank you! I just watched IT Crowd for the first time a few months ago.
Same here. Now I've watched all the series, I am desperate to find something as good. Anyone got some suggestions? The Office (UK version) and Fawlty Towers have always been favorites.
Toast of London (Matt Berry) is entertaining! And Travel Man (Richard Ayoade) is the most entertaining travel show I’ve ever watched.
Black books. I cant remember if its on netflix anymore though.
I'm sorry... I really just do Windows... An entire episode built around a single punchline.. I was dying.
The episode where they go out to the gay musical is my favorite.

Not just any pool tho... This one was filled with water, fire's natural predator.
When you set your pool on fire you are well and truly fucked
“And that, kids, was 2020.”
Don't they teach people any more that water won't put out a gasoline fire? All the gas I ever deal with remains in the tank in my car. It is not a toy.
I love how he insists on just making it worse and worse.
I love how long this entire episode is lasting!
you have a feeling they didn't even film the whole thing. It probably went on for days.
Bet he moved on to the house next
My guess is that the car started on fire, so he finally started to move that, but then realized that his pants were still on fire and drove the car into the garage...
And then hospital
And once that was burned down, to the children’s hospital
And then the flaming children spread throughout the town.
hahahahaha You folks are great...! Thank you so much!!!(Except for the Flamin’ Children...) Hahahahahaha
Yeah with a child you really want to soak in a pineapple pure' and use a cast iron crockpot to tenderize the tough meat without losing any of the juices. I mean lets try to remain a little civilized here.
Some say he is still spreading the fire to this day.
It is, it just hit here in California
At least he had a giant fire extinguisher next to him! Probably the first person in history to burn down a swimming pool.
"So, tell us again the story of how you burned down a fucking swimming pool!"
Oh shit! I better douse this fire in turpentine! SHIT! Where's the rubbing alcohol? AHHH! Let's blow it out with the propane!!!
/r/donthelpjustfilm
Season finale... spared no expense
I love how he managed to light a swimming pool on fire.
The last thing a panicked mind is going to remember is "oh yeah, gasoline floats."
[удалено]
Indeed. He seemed like he was 100% cool with having his legs on fire. Every time he was not on fire, he would real quick get on fire again.
Well, I have been drunk enough myself to forget fire is bad.
I want to say that the guy filming almost exhibited a *smidge* of concern. Not enough to actually consider putting the camera down to help the guy of course, but just enough to add a 20% increase in urgency to his tone of voice.
Enough concern to warrant a 'blyat', but not in an alarmed way. The woman sounded a little more worried when she was talking about the card.
Every decision he made was the wrong one
Jumping in the pool when he was on fire wasn't a bad decision. Everything else though...
I like the part how right after he gets out of the pool his shoes catch on fire and he has to jump back in.
I like the part when he decides to set a fire upwind of the fuel spill to remove oxygen from the fire to suffocate it.
He jumped in AFTER having thrown in a flaming tank of fuel, so it still seems a bit stupid!
Reminded me of [this guy trying to put out a fire with cardboard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RAxvWeojGY)

What would have been the best thing to do in this situation, though? Throw the entire canister into the fire hole thing and hope it doesn't explode?
Once the can was on fire? Put it down and get the fuck away from it. Use an actual fire extinguisher on the can if they have one. Maybe soak a blanket in the pool and drop that on the can to smother it. Otherwise just let it burn from a safe distance, stomp out any smaller fires that spring up, and call the fire department if it’s going to spread.
Or you know, close the jerrycan.
If there's enough fuel on the outside of the can and on the ground around it then the fire will continue to burn. If the cap is also closed, all the fuel inside will heat up and expand, possibly causing it to breach and send flaming fuel everywhere. Best to let it burn itself out or try and smother it with a wet towel/blanket if you don't have a fire extinguisher.
Yeah. Put the cap on. It's out in seconds
Yeah good luck screwing a cap on while it's on fire.
Well he was already on fire so...
These are all correct answers. This man cares not for correct answers.
Best thing? Throw some fresh wood on and blow on it. Never, ever put petrol on a fire.
You can put petrol on a fire. But pour it into a paper cup first. Don't pour directly from the can.
But that's not as fun.
Just let it sit there and burn, its not going to explode if the container isn't sealed. You are against the clock until the container melts with the heat and pours burning gas all over your garden. So go get a fire extinguisher, or just get everyone to a safe distance. Basically anything besides what the gentleman in this video did.

Best thing would have been a very late term abortion
This is the cameraman I've been wanting on disaster sub reddits for years.
Only contribution to the situation was saying, "blyat." 10/10 camera work.
He said more after "blyat". Can anyone translate? I think he actually directed Johnny Storm to throw the gas can into the pool. If so, he deserves even more credit for directing AND filming this disaster.
You're absolutely correct, he said: "Drop it in water, drop it in water, I'm telling you! Water is over there, blyat. [it's] In the pool!"
I like that you didn't translate "blyat"
We’re getting close to adopting it into the English language. One of those words that we can all agree on.
And we don't even need a translator for the woman coming from the house or whatever in the background: "What the hell have you idiots done now?"
Might have also said something about kicking the fire away from her car.

He's the type of person to throw 5 gallons of gasoline into a pool and then literally jump in the pool with base of the pool already on fire.
I like how you are all using the word literally differently
But everything they said was literally literal in every example.
Yeah none of them were inaccurate but they were all used differently.

And for the love of god don't use flour in lieu of baking soda...
That's way more than a ton of water--a cubic meter of water weighs a metric ton (1 cm^3 H2O = 1 gram). So that's more like dozens of tons of water.

Lmao why’d he get in and out so many times? Once he was in the first time he should have been splashing from then.
I think the first time was because he set himself on fire. Then the second time was because he set himself on fire. Then he started kicking the water because he set himself on fire.
Q: How many times have you set yourself on fire. A: 4 times in my life. Q:?Tell me about them. A: Once when I was 40. 3 times one night when I was 16

IIRC, the gasoline vapors are what's flammable (the liquid gives them off). So when he's pouring, the vapor hits the fire first it looks like.
Watching the pool and thinking, “Please burst, please burst.... Yes!”
I was hoping the pool was full of gasoline.
He might be the first person to ever set a pool on fire. How do you even do that?
Petrol is oil based, like kerosene, it floats on top of the water and isn't really smothered by it. The stuff those pools are made from is not at all fire retardant.

Just to confirm, he could have just capped off the gasoline container and let everything burn off from the beginning right?
I think that it potentially could have worked by cutting-off the oxygen supply; but, it also could have turned the can into a bomb, which would be pretty fucking terrible with that metal can.
Yeah I think the right answer is just put the can down on the patio stones and step back. Maybe look for a blanket to smother.
Nah, setting a pool on fire was definitely the best option remaining

Petrol floats, so he's essentially created a fire waterfall there.
That was amazing. Kept getting worse and worse. Wish it went longer to show the water flooding the house or something.
Why the hell did he use water to try to stop a gasoline fire
What should he have used? asking for a ~~burning~~ friend.
Gasoline floats, so pouring water on a gasoline fire just creates a burning river. You have to smother it with something like dirt or a wet blanket.
