man who live in wooden house need to not play with fire.

And that is how easy it is to burn you house down.

All it takes is a lobotomy.

Note for future fire fighters:
Don't move the fire to a heap of cardboard prior to trying to extinguish it.

This is why I keep a fire extinguisher in my hall closet.

Hard to count the fails. It's not THAT easy to burn your house down, it certainly helps to do at least 5 moronic things simultanously.

It seems like his attempts to put out the fire just made things worse as instead of smothering the flames, he kept fanning them.

Can someone translate what the game is saying? Sounds like it would be either hilarious or creepy. Especially the last words.

It's not the game. He was playing Minecraft. What you hear is the text to speech of his donation bot. Many Twitch streamers now use text to speech to read donations. I believe somebody said that it kept saying "behind you" but I haven't been able to independently verify that.

There has been contradicting information on the extent of the damage, to being minor with no injuries, to burning his place and 3 others down. There were initially rumors of a death, but that was later found to be another fire.

It rather much an epic fail though. I mean there's being Swatted: http://videosift.com/video/Raided-by-SWAT-SWATTED-while-live-streaming or being robbed at gunpiont: http://videosift.com/video/Twitch-Streamer-Robbed-At-Gunpoint-During-Stream, neither of which is the Streamer's fault, but this guy....

If you don't have a fire extinguisher, carry the burning bag to the bathroom and throw it in the shower/bath and turn on the freaking water! WTH...

On a side note, I watched this with my grandma who got a good laugh.

@Payback

Yeah, like RFlagg said, people are communicating him through the text-to-voice thing. In the beginning, they're trying to help him use the lighter by giving him pointers. Once the fire starts, they warn him that another fire has erupted behind him and later on beg for him to call 119 (Japan's emergency line).

I hate to say it, but I was laughing my ass off the whole time. The sheer absurdity of this cute anime-style voice calmly telling him to turn around or dial 119 as the flames continue to grow around him just forced me to laugh out loud.

Kotaku has an article about the incident which includes a Japanese newspaper clipping that says he burned out the 2nd floor of the house and he, his mom, and dad all sustained mild burns trying to put out the fire.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the Japanese newspaper clipping Kotaku provides specifically mentions the 40 year old son was playing with an oil lighter and dropped it in the trash by accident, which is exactly what we see in the video.

me me, i try

ummm

Throw fire into garbage bag because your done with that shit.
Japaness beat box it.
throw it under the rug.
try to put out fire with your left over noodle water.

yep, hard

I just imagine everyone watching the stream was yelling at him "Dude, you're making it worse!!! "

I don't find this funny at all.

I up-voted, but just to highlight how really easily a momentary slip-up can cause a completely avoidable disaster.

I hit the closed caption button and it comes up french.
