A video of popular Twitch streamer Emily “Emiru” accidentally causing a fire in her kitchen has sparked a viral sensation on social media. The incident took place during Emiru’s IRL broadcast with fellow streamers Warwick “Zoil,” Nick “Nmplol,” and Julianna “ItsKatchii” on February 22, 2026. A 48-second clip from the stream was shared on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit, capturing the moment when a cooking paper towel caught fire next to a frying pan while Emiru was hosting a cooking segment.
In the video, Nmplol quickly sprang into action, instructing Zoil to take the utensil containing the burning paper towel outside to prevent any further escalation of the situation. Nmplol emphasized the importance of not using water on an oil fire and urged Zoil to handle the situation carefully.
The incident drew mixed reactions from fans on the subreddit, with some criticizing the streamers for their handling of the situation. One Reddit user pointed out the dangers of moving a grease fire and recommended covering or smothering it instead of attempting to relocate it. Another user commented on the lack of awareness displayed by the streamers during the incident.
Following the incident, Nmplol humorously took to social media to praise Emiru for “saving a house from burning down” with his expert coaching. He jokingly credited himself for preventing a disaster and commended Emiru for her quick thinking in the face of the fire.
Emiru had recently faced backlash earlier in the month for her comments about the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) and her association with certain streamers. Despite the controversy, Emiru continues to be a prominent figure in the streaming community.
As the incident continues to garner attention online, it serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety and proper handling of kitchen fires. Nmplol’s quick thinking and guidance in the situation highlight the significance of being prepared for unexpected emergencies, even during casual activities like cooking on a livestream.
