Does anyone else love to put on a good old Yule Log in the colder months? There are so many nice Yule log videos on YouTube and other sites that have lovely crackling fireplace sounds, and some even play Christmas songs!
While these Yule log videos are great for putting on your TV and playing in the background as you work, do things around the house, or take a nice nap, you might want to make sure no one can see inside your home or apartment while you enjoy them.
After all, a neighbor or passerby might just think your home is on fire.
Kieran Murray (@kieranknightley) recently thought he saved someone’s life after seeing what he thought was an apartment fire from his window in New York City and calling 911. As he documented the process on TikTok earlier this month, he eventually learned he was wrong.
“The craziest thing just happened,” says a frantic Kieran in his viral TikTok video.
“I saw a fire in a building and called 911.”
Kieran then cuts to footage of the view of the “fire” in someone’s window in the apartment across the street from his, then two large fire engines pulling up to the apartment building.
What could’ve been a horribly dangerous situation was quickly diffused when Kieran was informed the fire wasn’t what he thought it was.
“As it turns out, it was just an eight-foot TV with a Yule log on it.”

Kieran then shows his footage of the Yule log fire one more time and says the firefighters were very confused. Looking at Kieran’s perspective, it does look like a very realistic fire!
“I mean, if you’re putting a fire on an eight-foot TV, maybe draw the shade,” commented one TikTok user.
“You did the right thing,” commented another user.
“It’s genuinely better to have called, and it be a false alarm than have an actual emergency unfold with everyone ignoring it.”
Kieran’s video has since reached over 1.6 million likes on TikTok, and while it may be a funny story, it’s a good reminder that it’s always better to be safe than sorry!
And hey, if you have a massive television and want to put on a Yule log video, maybe close your curtains to avoid firemen showing up at your door.
