Worker accidentally sets factory ablaze out of 'CURIOSITY' #shorts 🔥

This is the bizarre moment a bungling factory worker set spools of packaging material on fire 'out of curiosity' in China.

The employee had just finished arranging sheets of EPE pearl cotton inside the warehouse in Huizhou City, Guangdong province on August 22 when his curiosity - and foolishness - proved the better of him.

He was caught on camera bringing a lighter to the flammable material and setting ablaze the pile of wrappers. The fire rapidly spread as the newly made goods were reportedly still covered in combustible butane, which is used during the production of EPE foam.

Footage shows the man trying batting at the growing flames using his hands. When that proved ineffective, he hurried outside to call for help.

The Guangdong Huizhou Fire Department confirmed the incident in a statement on August 24, with the city's public security service detaining the suspect.

They said an investigation into the incident has been launched.

Anytime your "worker" is shirtless, wearing flip-flops and shorts and walking around like he's asleep....your warehouse is probably going to burn down.

Stupidity is never a accident…it’s just Stupid!!!

His boss: You are fired.
Him: Your factory is fired.

Purposely Set on Fire is a Criminal Offence

That factory really sets high standards for its workers when you can just report to work with nothing but your shorts and flipflops.

This is why education is important
Skill alone won't suffice most of the times

[Jamborambo]

It’s foam, some foam is mixed with tdi gas.
We shown this video in my old employer training to show you don’t light things on fire, yes I know as if you have to train people not to light things.

That went from, “hey, let me burn a small piece to see what happens” to “0h, f—k, I am going to jail” in about 2 seconds.

The fire accidentally let him escape the building.

[Vecnarus]

That is why education is very important.

[TAURUSPLASTERING]

Exhibit A for intrusive thoughts 😂😂😂😂😂

[banny]

He just teaches us what happens if we do this😂🤣

[maidenaholic]

Good luck getting a job again. However, one thing he showed us is these things are so flammable that it must be dangerous to be there without any masks to protect against the fumes they are breathing in. For something to be this flammable would mean it's full of chemicals that are dangerous to breathe

The least thing in his mind was that those rolls were made out of C-4 putty paper.

[wahwahworld-hrto]

That is definately no accident, he lit that roll 😮😂
