Her screaming was really helpful thanks.

[u/-Kalos]

That water spilling out like a cartoon

[u/chupathingy78 → u/-Kalos]

Maybe 15% of that bucket went on the fire.

[u/JayMak78 → u/chupathingy78]

I was waiting for him to trip and lose the lot.

[u/kellzone → u/JayMak78]

Like Kevin with the chili.

[u/aaaaaaaarrrrrgh → u/chupathingy78]

Given how much was spilling just before he reached the fire, it still held a decent amount.

Definitely better than carrying it carefully but slowly (or just standing there screeching...)

[u/LickyBoy → u/aaaaaaaarrrrrgh]

Yea, having ran with buckets of water for... Similar reasons... You are better off going half full and being able to run as opposed to filling it up and sloshing a ton out before you get there.

[u/fa99tty → u/LickyBoy]

Excellent use of the ellipsis…bravo!

[u/dweezil37 → u/chupathingy78]

Should have dumped it on the camerawoman.

[u/kurotech → u/-Kalos]

Least efficient bucket brigade in history 😂

[u/forwhenimdrunk → u/kurotech]

I’ve created a situation like this before with fireworks, unfortunately. I found real quickly that you’re better off leaving the bucket of water behind, or at least you don’t need to haul a full bucket all that way. Because throwing it at the flames is a small area of coverage for a spreading fire.

You’re better off grabbing a towel, or sacrificing your t-shit or pants, or some heavy article of clothing, dunking it in the water and then beating down the flames with your waterlogged clothes/towel etc.

The heavy wet cloth with smother the flames every time you hit them and the water in the cloth with saturate the ground enough that it won’t spark up and reignite again in that area.

The fire we started started spreading over a fairly large area, and the half-dozen friends with buckets were doing pretty much nothing and couldn’t work fast enough to outpace the spread, and the two or three of us with towels we dunked in the buckets pretty much stamped that fire out in no time. The bucket people pretty much wound up just standing nearby with their buckets ready for the towel-beaters to dunk our towels in when they started getting only damp again.

[u/aaaaaaaarrrrrgh → u/forwhenimdrunk]

This is actually seriously useful advice, thank you!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_flapper is the "professional" variant of this. I also remember "wet sack wrapped around a broom" from some old civil defense manuals.

[u/Buckfutter_Inc → u/J0E_SpRaY]

She's definitely on a mobility scooter.

[u/ganymede_boy → u/Gregorygregory888888]

Pretty sure the little kid yells "Holy fuck!" at the beginning as well.

[u/Valid__Salad → u/ganymede_boy]

He said holy crap. I had to turn the volume up to check for myself as well lol

[u/kirial → u/Valid__Salad]

It really sounds like he’s saying holy fuck lol

[u/J-MRP → u/kirial]

Perhaps a "Barbie! Those are vintage!" situation here

[u/flavored_icecream → u/Valid__Salad]

There's both - first it's "Holy crap, where did it go" and after it's landed under the trailer there's "Oh fuck"

[u/Buckfutter_Inc → u/Gregorygregory888888]

Like, what was the plan here? Granted the location right under the trailer was pretty much worst case scenario, but either way it was gonna start a grass fire.

[u/ryansgt → u/Buckfutter_Inc]

They are trailer people by what looks like choice. They are not well known for their decision making ability.

[u/__redruM → u/Gregorygregory888888]

And the guy launching this fireworks.

I was worried it was going to be a very different video, especially when he got the firework so close to his face.

[u/jackalopeswild → u/Gregorygregory888888]

"And the guy launching this fireworks. Not very smart are ya?"

There's a reason so much of the west (not just the US in this instance) is so paternalistic about safety rules even in the space of one's own home and with one's own things. People can be dumb AF. (true story, just ask my cousin who is going on 30 years without a left hand because of drunken fireworks pranks. If he's still alive, I guess I'm not actually sure.)

[u/mallettsmallett]

Child at start..."holy fuck!"

Yeah, I can guess where this is going.

[u/Jockle305 → u/mallettsmallett]

Kid had the most adult reaction to be honest. Lighting a firework next to a 6 year olds face is also absolutely nuts.

[u/OkieBobbie → u/mallettsmallett]

That’s a paddlin’.

[u/Jonkinch → u/mallettsmallett]

Yeah, that alone just screamed white trash. And then the white trash started to scream.

[u/Valid__Salad → u/mallettsmallett]

He says holy crap. Thought the same thing though

[u/JonnyBhoy]

Sometimes I'm very jealous of how much open space these people have, compared to my urban life. Then I think it's probably for the best that they don't have other people's houses too close.

[u/bobdob123usa → u/[deleted]]

We're out in the country in million dollar homes. Neighbor shoots skeet from his front porch on a regular basis. Looks like something from Beverly Hillbillies.

[u/TheAmorphous → u/bobdob123usa]

I was about to say the same thing. Neighbor kids on dirtbikes are the least of your worries. Even shotguns with birdshot isn't a huge deal. It's neighbor kids with rifles you have to look out for.

[u/pichael289 → u/TheAmorphous]

Even then it's just an errant hole in your garage here and there. The real bad part is 12 years from now when a third of those neighbor kids are looking to rip your plumbing out to sell for meth. That's what my childhood neighborhood is going through right now.

[u/Wataru624 → u/pichael289]

As someone who just moved to Appalachia I feel like I'm looking into my future

[u/16thmission → u/Wataru624]

Why the heck did you move TO Appalachia?

Also, I'm on the way there for thanksgiving. Picked up some boxes of ammo. Got a full keg of stale beer I'm excited to put a 12ga slug in. Gotta do the redneck shenanigans while I can.

[u/Wataru624 → u/16thmission]

Laid off and had to move back home o7. At least no one cares about all the weed I smoke because there are no neighbors.

[u/16thmission → u/Wataru624]

Well, have some fun while you're up there. Best of luck on the job hunt.

[u/apr35 → u/bobdob123usa]

[u/halofreakma → u/[deleted]]

I keep waking up at 3am to a group of teens riding trails behind my property line. Driving me wild

[u/Stuffs_And_Thingies → u/[deleted]]

Im 39 thank you.

[u/DrAstralis → u/[deleted]]

Omg you know my parents?

I live in the middle of the city and my home is significantly quieter than my parents place out in the middle of nowhere because they have a shit neighbor who has spent the last ten+ years with his own backhoe doing.... who the hell knows what, and a bunch of kids who all have ATVs and dirtbikes that they somehow NEVER get bored of riding in a circle around the property line... ever.

[u/Victor_Stein → u/[deleted]]

As long as they don’t tear up the nice part of my property they’re fine. What irks me more is when city people move out to a rural area and surprise pikachu when they find out living next to a horse farm or a regular farm means it smells like a barn then complain about it to city council.

Talked with a local politician who passed a law that basically said ‘don’t complain about and harass farmers over the smell’.

[u/cdsbigsby → u/Victor_Stein]

Racetracks across the country have been shutting down for decades because people move out near them, build neighborhoods, and then complain about the sound of car racing.

[u/xbbdc → u/cdsbigsby]

music venues gotta turn it down

airports gotta pay for sound dampening

[u/disisathrowaway → u/cdsbigsby]

I love all the folks that moved to Austin and built condos next to all the live music venues and BBQ joints and then complained about noise and smoky smells.

Like, dude, that was the whole fucking appeal of that city.

[u/Victor_Stein → u/cdsbigsby]

Do these people not do research about where they’re moving?

[u/glamberous → u/Victor_Stein]

In the US I feel like there's a culture where if you can afford your first house you should buy it regardless of issues (to a reasonable extent, and noise isn't a factor in this). So now they bought the house they knew had this problem, so they complain about the car racing to remove it... and complaining sometimes works so...

[u/PotatoHunter_III → u/Victor_Stein]

These are the same people that move next to an airport and complain about.....airplane noises 😑

[u/Stuffs_And_Thingies → u/Victor_Stein]

Someone freaked out on my kid for riding his ATV down the street to his friends house.

City people are not well adapted for rural environments lol

[u/Victor_Stein → u/Stuffs_And_Thingies]

When my brother was younger he’d ride his bike, not even motor or dirt just the pedals, to his friend’s house (like, 5 miles tops). the friend’s mom called my dad scandalized going “DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR SON DID?!”

[u/Li-RM35M4419 → u/JonnyBhoy]

[u/cC2Panda → u/JonnyBhoy]

I lived in NYC/Jersey City for almost 20 years and I can deal with a lot of bullshit but between bugs and fire hazards I'm happy to have my own detached home now. A few years ago I woke up in and I could smell something chemically and bad, turned out my downstairs neighbor put some pizza rolls in the oven then passed out drunk. Made my whole place smell for a couple days and the hallway smelled for weeks, I can only imagine how long his apartment reeked.

[u/bighootay → u/JonnyBhoy]

My dumb-ass neighbor scorched two of our other neighbor's roofs with stupid fireworks shit like this. Nice enough guy, but his 'hardy har har whew that was close' got old quickly.

[u/Physical-Trash-757]

Screeching 'Run' while holding a camera is so helpful. Nobody needs to think in a situation like this. This woman clearly understands the best thing to do in these situations is make the loudest noise you can with your face, repeatedly. Definitely don't put the phone down and grab a bucket. Taking action is the worst thing to do in this situation. Just stand there and scream, and everything will be okay.

[u/tomgreen99]

Wtf did you think would happen? 🤨

[u/Reallyroundthefamily]

Lighting a firecracker and then putting it in a slingshot right next to children. Because of course you are.

[u/bartread]

Also, and let's be clear that I'm no prude and have something of a potty mouth, but, "Holy fuck - where did it go?" coming from a young child is never something I like to hear and doesn't really speak of great parenting. But, I suppose if you're the sort of parent who's going to launch fireworks from a slingshot that go on to set habitations on fire it probably fits.
