MAN SEES FIRE INSIDE AN APARTMENT AND CALLS 911-IT TURNS OUT TO BE A YULE LOG ON TV
In a video posted by TikTok user Kieran Murray (@kieranknightley), he shows himself walking down the street, surrounded by firetrucks with their lights flashing. “The craziest thing just happened,” he says.
Murray had been out walking when he noticed what he thought was a building on fire. He shows a clip in his video– from a distance, it appears as though an apartment is on fire.
He then shows firetrucks racing to the scene of the “fire,” their sirens blaring and horns honking loudly to clear the road.
However, when they got to the apartment, it turned out to be an 8-foot TV showing a video of a yule log, not an actual fire. “What would you have done?” Murray wrote in the video’s caption.
Many commenters assured Murray that he had done the right thing in calling 911, and that it’s better to be safe than sorry. “It’s genuinely better to have called and it be a false alarm than have an actual emergency unfold with everyone ignoring it.” a commenter said.
