TikToker and Good Samaritan Kieran Murray acted vigilantly when he saw what he thought was a fire blazing in someone's apartment.
But it wasn't a fire at all.
After calling 911 and reporting the fire—and after two fire trucks showed up, sirens blaring—the creator found out that he called the FDNY fire department because of a Yule log video playing on a gigantic TV.
Oops.
The TikToker began his video:
"The craziest thing just happened."
"I saw a fire in a building and called 911."
"But it turns out it was just an eight-foot TV with a Yule log on it."
He shared that he ran down to tell the firefighters what he saw, to which they replied:
"Yeah, bro. It was a Yule log. What are you doing?"

And we have to agree.
Plus, no one was hurt AND we got a great story out of it.
Well done, Kieran.
