A Comedy Trope, although it may sometimes be also Played for Drama, often for Black Comedy. A fire is started, maybe through a character's stupidity or clumsiness. Commonly, the character will be cooking and get distracted. The character is either too stupid to notice or too ignorant to care, and will only do something when a more sensible character screams. Alternatively, a character starts a fire, but because of either clumsiness or stupidity, the fire accidentally spreads. They then panic and try to put out the fire by using either ineffectual methods or methods that make it worse. Another variation is when a character reaches out and touches fire, and is honestly surprised (not just shocked at the pain) when it burns. This is common for a Stone Age character making The Discovery of Fire. A Sister Trope to Explosive Stupidity. Can overlap with Too Dumb to Live if the fire endangers the starter's life. If it endangers someone else's life, the fire starter may be a case of Lethally Stupid and/or Lethal Klutz. Compare Gasoline Dousing. Sometimes happens in a Firefighting Episode if the fire department hires really incomptetent people. |

Madagascar: To get the rescue boats' attention, Alex builds a giant statue of Lady Liberty on the beach, and Melman is tasked with starting a fire to light her torch.

A scene from Horrible Histories featured an elderly Victorian gentleman catching his rear end on fire and more concerned about his daughter's suitor's bad language than the fact that he's on fire. (To him, words like "bottom", "trousers" and "leg" aren't fit for mixed company.) | |

Teen Titans Go!: In "The Best Robin", the team (minus Robin) are incredibly lazy and can't bother themselves to reach for the remote. Cyborg attempts to change the channel by extending his hand, but just ends up smashing it. Then it catches fire. They can't be bothered to put it out, and when one of them suggests calling the fire department, they decided not to because the phone is out of reach. In "Serious Business", Robin puts a timer on the Titans' bathroom usage, and when it hits zero for the first time, the room is set ablaze. The other Titans try to extinguish it, but Cyborg just runs back and forth screaming. |

In Jessie Season 3 "Where's Zuri?", Stuart has a new laid back nanny named Hudson who allows Zuri and Stuart to play with fireworks inside which results in their balcony getting set on fire. By the end of the episode, when Hudson decides to become a more responsible nanny, he puts all his fireworks in a box and offers it to Jessie who doesn't want and tells him to get rid of them, but when he sees a fireplace with a fire going we cut to the apartment on fire with firefighters entering the building and everybody outside the building. | |

The title character of Pinocchio sees a candle for the first time and tries to grab the flame, eventually setting his finger on fire. As he's still made of wood, he doesn't feel a thing, but Geppetto freaks out and frantically looks for some water to douse the flame, eventually dunking Pinocchio's hand in Cleo's fishbowl. | |

Yandere Simulator: If you splash a student with a bucket of gasoline and then flick a lit match on them, they will be set ablaze. The student won't try to roll to put the fire out, they'll just scream and slap themselves before burning to death right there. If Loner, Coward, Phone Addict, or Spiteful students witness a student burning to death, they'll step back in shock before running for it. |

In one episode, Alan accidentally ignites a grease fire in Hooper's Store while trying to make fried chicken. It doesn't help that he leaves the stove unattended to talk to Maria and Elmo. |

In Duncanville, Season 1 "Free Range Children", when Jack and Annie leave their kids by themselves at home while they go to a concert, they immediately return back when they discover firefighters heading towards their home. Apparently, when Duncan placed a pizza in their oven, he forgot to take the pizza out of the plastic wrapper and set the oven temperature too high, resulting in the pizza catching on fire. Duncan tries to put the flames out with a fire extinguisher, but he doesn't know how to use it and he places it inside the oven on top of the flaming pizza which results in the extinguisher exploding. | |

At TNA's Hard Justice 2006 PPV, the crowd began singing "The Roof Is on Fire" while Eric Young was wrestling Johnny Devine. The commentators tried to ignore this until the smoke from the burning ceiling forced them to acknowledge it. By then crowd had started chanting "You Can't See Me", as the smoke was obstructing the view of the ring. | |

Trolls World Tour: An "Ignorant About Lava" variant happens in a side scene of the climax, in which a generic Rock Troll falls into a pit of lava, only to comment "Uh... This is a little hot," as he's sinking. Likely justified as the Rock Trolls are implied to have heat resistance, and as stated in the manual, the lava is made from satin fabric. | |

The fairy Krista from Ferngully The Last Rainforest has never seen fire or flames. When the human Zack flicks a lighter, Krista is enthralled. As Zack admires the interior of their grotto, Krista tries touching the flame, which burns her hand. Rather than redness and swelling, though, Krista's fingers develop a glow that transfers to Zack's fingers. | |

Everybody Loves Raymond. Raymond runs into trouble when attempting to prove to Debra that he is a responsible parent and husband. He buys a can of potent insect spray and liberally applies it everywhere in the kitchen, so as to avoid the expense of calling Rentokil. While he is on the phone, the inflammable spray catches light from the stove. Soon, the kitchen is ablaze. When he finally notices he runs out for the garden hose only to discover it doesn't stretch that far. Debra walks right past him and picks up a fire extinguisher... | |

The AI in The Sims is notorious for starting fires while cooking and failing to do anything productive while there is a fire (as pictured above). Sims automatically queue the "Panic!" action when a fire starts and will only attempt to put the fire out if specifically told by the player to do so. Additionally, in The Sims 3, anyone with the Absent-Minded trait can even be distracted from panicking while there's a fire going on. In the first game, there was also a genie who was an Inept Mage and sometimes set things on fire accidentally... even the shower. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In "The Deserter??", Aang is taught firebending by Jeong Jeong, who instructs the boy to perform breathing exercises to prepare. Bored and frustrated of doing mundane tasks, Aang decides to try replicating complex moves he saw at a festival while Jeong Jeong is away, quickly losing control of the flames and accidentally burning Katara's hands. This experiences ends up frightening Aang so much he becomes unable to effectively firebend due to his fear that he will harm someone. Zhao was trained to firebend by Jeong Jeong, but was interested only in causing as much damage as possible, completely neglecting to learn restraint. This is ultimately a terrible decision that makes him reckless and ineffective, with Aang being easily able to take advantage of his lack of impulse control to trick Zhao into burning down his own boats. |

Dumb and Dumber has a bit like this. Harry is filling up his car and accidentally spills some gasoline on his pant leg. Just then, a woman pulls up to the pump next to him. As they're chatting, she begins to light up a cigarette (hey, it was The '90s) but can't get her lighter to light. Harry graciously offers her a match; after she gets her cigarette lit, Harry nonchalantly flips the still-lit match behind him... only to set his leg aflame. | |

During the siege of the Emerald City, the first fire attack on his army nearly destroyed it, thanks to his soldiers being curious rather than afraid. | |

A small fire starts in a pile of discarded scrubs; Klinger notices, grabs a panful of liquid (thinking it's water) and throws it on the fire - only the fire grows bigger. He threw one of the pans of alcohol. | |

The episode ends with the flames growing larger. There was a reference earlier to Emperor Nero giving a violin recital, so the clear implication is that Bobo accidentally started the Great Fire of Rome. | |

West of Eden: Exploited by Kerrick in the book's climax. The Yilanè's Organic Technology has taken care of everything fire could do for them, and thus they are so culturally ignorant about fire that only a few of the more scientifically-minded Yilanè even know of its existence. Thus, Kerrick and some of his allies sneak into the Yilanè city of Alpèasak and put it to the torch, which ends up burning the living city almost completely to the ground and killing the vast majority of its inhabitants, most of whom die in a blind panic because they don't understand what's going on. | |

Bob's Burgers: In "Hamburger Dinner Theater", during the series of flashbacks showing Tina's Performance Anxiety, Tina is shown calling 911 and being too nervous to tell the operator that the kitchen is on fire. In "Bob Belcher and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Kids", Gene uses a crimping iron, but he leaves it turned on and plugged into the wall, and the kitchen is set alight. It's revealed later on in the episode that Louise accidentally made the fire worse by leaving a bunch of sparklers lying out and Tina left a fan in front of the iron, which literally fanned the flames. At the end, however, the real culprit is revealed to be Hugo, who, during his inspection the previous day, threw a bunch of greasy rags on the floor; Bob missed one under the stove and it ignited during the night. |

Rohan suspects Josuke of cheating because Mikitaka overdoes it on the dice rolls, and is determined to figure out his trick. Mikitaka is almost discovered when he breaks out in a rash due to the sound of sirens, until Tamami points out that the fire the sirens are heading to was coming from Rohan's house. Rohan is still more concerned about Josuke's cheat than his own burning house. | |

The Simpsons In "Homer Goes to College", Homer gets accepted to a college and celebrates by burning his high school diploma. While it's still hanging on the wall. Homer dances and sings about how smart he is, while the entire wall behind him burns down. In "Homer the Smithers", Homer is filling in for Smithers and is trying to make Mr. Burns breakfast. First he spears some eggs and sticks them into the microwave (breaking the door/window to do so) and it catches fire. Then he tries to make toast using an open flame from the stove and it catches fire. Finally, he pours some cereal and milk, and even it catches fire. Earlier in the episode, Homer tries to ask Smithers what to do in case of fire, but Smithers can't hear him. Homer turns his head to discover that Mr. Burns is actually on fire. He doesn't know what to do, so he just quietly says, "D'oh!" In "Brother's Little Helper", as Ned Flanders is performing in a safety drill, his clothes catch on fire, and he does Stop, Drop, and Roll to put the fire out. Turns out all that does is spread the fire. In "I'm Going to Praiseland", Bart is pulling out weeds when Homer pours out some gasoline from a jerry can and sets it on fire. Homer says it's safe since it's a controlled burn, and not knowing that a controlled burn requires careful supervision not merely calling it "controlled", it burns a good chunk of the abandoned park they're renovating. Played with in "Mountain of Madness." There was no fire, but rather a fire drill at Homer's workplace. Only Homer manages to actually evacuate; the rest just run around like lunatics due to their fear and incompetence. In "22 Short Films About Springfield", Skinner's pot roast catches fire and instead of calling 911, he lies to his boss that it's the aurora borealis. Even when his mother is calling for help, he pretends that everything is fine. |

Fawlty Towers: In "The Germans", Manuel accidentally starts a fire in the kitchen. He tries to beat it out, but sets fire to his oven gloves, and spreads the fire round the kitchen. For extra irony, the hotel was about to conduct a fire drill at the same time. When filming this, his actor Andrew Sachs was badly burned, and was paid compensation. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Nature Pants", SpongeBob starts a fire because he was daydreaming. He isn't aware until Mr. Krabs enters, and when he gives SpongeBob a fire extinguisher, he just throws it at the fire. In "Ugh", prehistoric relatives of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward see a log that is set on fire by lightning. All three of them stick their hands in the fire to see what happens. |

Minecraft: Bats will sometimes fly into lava and then keep flying, while on fire. Villagers are absolutely clueless about fire, not even trying to put any fires out when they start. |

In Night at the Museum, the protagonist Larry introduces fire to some cavemen, but it gets out of control because they've never heard of it, so he sprays it with the fire extinguisher, which they eat. | |

South Park: Twice in "Pre-School": It is revealed that Kyle, Stan, Kenny and Cartman liked to pretend to be firemen when they were little. They convinced Trent Boyett to start a fire so they could put it out themselves by peeing on it. Unfortunately, none of them had anticipated what would happen if they stopped urinating and they did not know how to extinguish a fire. When Miss Claridge started burning, they tried to solve the problem by peeing on her, too. During the flashback of when Trent Boyett starts the fire, Miss Claridge tries to put the fire out by using a blanket and not a fire extinguisher. It results in the blanket and her getting set alight, and she doesn't try to roll around to extinguish herself, she just runs around in circles screaming. |

In Pleasantville, as part of the too-idyllic '50s setting, all the firemen in town ever do is getting cats down from trees. Later, a tree bursts into flame. David catches wind of it and runs to the nearest fire station. Of course, there's never been an actual fire in Pleasantville until now: | |

Happy Tree Friends: In "Class Act", Toothy, panicked from what's been going on during the Christmas play, drops the candle he was holding near one of the curtains, setting it on fire and eventually causing the incineration of the whole building. In "Breaking Wind", Splendid's toxic flatulence covers the earth. Petunia lights a match, apparently unaware that fire and gas don't mix, which sets the world alight. Given the plot of "Who's to Flame?", there are quite a few examples: Petunia talks on the phone while leaning on the lit stove, setting her tail ablaze. Giggles throws a tablecloth on her to extinguish her, which works for a second, but then the tablecloth catches fire too (as does Giggles). After Giggles and Petunia are set alight, Mime tries to call the fire department, but forgets the last number to 911. When he finally remembers, he tries to mime what's going on over the phone. Naturally, Lumpy (who is on the other end) can't understand him. The Mole accidentally hooks the hose up to the fire truck's gas tank, causing gasoline to spurt out and the fire gets even worse. Justified, though, given his blindness. At the end, the Mole lights a match, unaware of the gas leak, which makes the town explode. |

In Private Practice, Dr. Sam Bennett recalls a time when, as a teenager, his bipolar older sister left some oil on the stove, which caught fire and nearly burned the house down. She watched the flames rise, transfixed, instead of moving to put it out. | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action has Daffy Duck argue with Bugs Bunny about their treatment at the studio. Daffy resents that Bugs is a Karmic Trickster, while Daffy is the Iron Butt Monkey recipient of Slapstick and Amusing Injuries. Bugs then points out that Daffy's tail is alight (from a campfire), to which Daffy states, "Exactly my point." Bugs then has to point out the flames before Daffy realizes that he's alight and in pain. | |

The 1960 version of The Time Machine features a Played for Drama variation. After George, the time-traveler, lights a fire, Weena reaches forward to touch it. When he asks her why she did that, she replies, "I never saw it before." This is the moment when it's finally impressed upon him just how much humanity has regressed by the year 802701. | |

In the Mog book "Mog's Christmas Calamity", Mog runs out of her basket where she'd been having a bad dream and accidentally gets her tail caught on fire. She tries to put it out on the carpet, but that just makes "more little fires", which spread. She also unintentionally stops the fire by running coincidentally towards the fire station. It's not because she's stupid, but rather because she's a cat. | |

RCN by David Drake: In The Far Side of the Stars, Tovera and Hogg set fire to the townhouse of a rival of Adele Mundy's in retaliation for sending thugs to attack her in the street. Adele had told them not to hurt anyone and the two Hypercompetent Sidekicks deliberately planned the fire to give the owners enough time to escape, but the Upper-Class Twit lady of the house stays to grab her jewelry and the Literal-Minded Tovera goes in to retrieve her and ends up mildly burnt. | |

Dwarves in Dwarf Fortress have an unhealthy relationship with fire. Specifically, they have a complete indifference to it. A dwarf on fire will continue with his/her normal routine, setting everything on fire that they pass. This will last until they burn to death or are somehow extinguished. In earlier revisions, they would loot the corpse of another who had recently burned to death and proudly wear the still-flaming clothes. | |
