    There’s what looks like a garden hose at his feet at the start of the video. Then he waits for things to get totally out of control, while big momma yells for him to stop being a dumb twat. Finally, he runs off to get the smallest extinguisher I’ve ever seen.

    I am simultaneously disheartened, and somehow relieved, to know there are dumb rednecks in any land where there are people. Oof!

    Doesn't even matter, it cannot possibly put out a fucking birthday cake. Take it from me who lost my house, those small extinguishers are not adequate to do shit. Go steal you a full sized one from the gas station if you have to, but always have a big one somewhere you can get to. I have one in every room of my god dam house, im never smelling that smoke smell that follows you for years ever again. My stuffed monkey I had from when I was a kid is sitting up on the high shelf, singed to shit and out of smell range.

    I worked at a hospital in the 80's. Everyone learned how to put out a fire, no excuses. They took us to a remote, roped off area of the parking lot that had a fire pit, lit it, and every person had to pull the damn pins and put it out.

    my backyard neighbor's home recently burned down. it was the scariest day of my life, watching the flames reaching toward our home and hearing the blasts of two propane tanks and multiple ammo rounds go off. luckily all we lost was our vinyl siding and fence on that side of our home. it was the worst day of his life. he lost his dog. we happened to have one of his dog's favorite toys over our home, because it was ripped and my mom had it to sew up. we were able to give that back to him, at least. he pretty much lost everything else.

    Those extinguishers only work if the fire hasn't already gotten too large. My mom definitely deleted a Black & Decker toaster oven fire with one in about 2 seconds. Then again my mom is the kind of person that would Juggernaut/Kool-Aid Man blast through a screen door if she thought opening it would take too long. The..."speed" at which he was able to do something about the fire was a bit on the lower end of the bell curve.

    The funniest thing imo is he accidentally manages to slow it down enough that the hose _might_ have done something besides fuck-all, and then he just waits for it to build up again, dumbfounded that it's not backing away like "Ope, ya got me mister."

    For the kids at home, you aim the fire extinguisher at the base of the fire. That way, you put out the source of the flames.

    From her tone, aggressive cursing and otherwise passive stance, its a very specific subtype of german, specifically one that either works hard in low/medium-skilled labor or not at all, rolls its own cigarettes over a ceramic-tile-table, watches trash tv and drinks cheap öttinger beer most of the day but "is not an alcoholic". Fine specimen of a german low-class Proles.

    A middle class suburb german would be less cursing, more getting panicked and describing horror scenarios to himself/herself and the world while trying something mildly ineffective and then another peak german overweight volunteer firefighter dude comes from the neighboring house over with a smug grin, a nearly indicipherable dialect and whatever tool is needed to end the crisis in 30 seconds just to talk an hour about the brand quality fire extinguisher he bought last week.

    Why is she insulting him and not helping him???😂

    Because she told him multiple times not to do it, wants a permanent record that he's an idiot, and prove she's not involved.

    A fire like that could escalate and do a lot of damage, standing on the sidelines because "I told him not to do it, I'm not involved" is about as smooth brained a thing to do as what the guy did.

    I would definitely put my vanity aside if I saw the flames that close to my house 😱. It's insane how quickly and intensely the fir trees catch fire!

    She'd have to put in some effort to do that, and it's apparent that's not happening.

    It is amazing that neither of them was concerned that the fire might spread to the house.

    They should probably call 112 or at least get a garden hose, maybe both.

    He seems really unconcerned and she just keeps insulting him and questioning his sanity, which is probably justified, but seems more worried about her in-laws trees than the possibility that the house might catch fire and absolutely seems unwilling to do anything beyond berating him.

    Translation of the woman shouting in german:

    You know that my tree is burning right? That's what Schmitt does just like that. Very nice. Great. Great. Are you stupid or what. Have you inhaled gases? Tell me, are you just sick in the head? What should we do now? "You do not have all the cups in your shelf" = You are not right in the head. You belong locked up. Are you stupid? "You do not have all cups in your shelf". Do you know what you did? Are you serious right now? He: Everything is allright! Where is everything allright? Those are the trees of my parents in law. Go over there. Go over there. Go faster. Take that piece of shit now (meaning fire extinguisher). Take that wired thing (still meaning fire extinguisher Turn the thing on. Are you only sick in the head now? You belong to prison. I dont belive it. That is sick. That is sick what...

    Every fire extinguisher I’ve ever seen says aim at the base of the fire. Every video I’ve seen of someone using a fire extinguisher is of them spraying it up into the air.

    My house... Herr Schmidt just casually does this! Very great! Super, super.

    Are you insane or what? Have you inhaled gases? Are you completely sick? What are we going to do now? You completely lost your mind! You should be jailed! Are you insane? You've completely lost your mind. Do you know what you just did? You can't be serious. Where is everything fine? These are my in-laws trees! Go over there man! Go over there! Take your shit thing! Turn your thing on! Are you completely insane?
