The part of that whole affair that&#x27;s simultaneously hilarious and incredibly sad is that the guy literally couldn&#x27;t have tried harder to make that fire grow. He gave it kindling doused in lighter fuel, then he gave it more kindling and wood to burn, then he <i>literally fanned the flames</i>.<p>Not to say that having a fire extinguisher is a bad idea, but in that guy&#x27;s case doing literally almost anything other than what he did could have saved his house.
