Naked Florida man starts house fire while baking cookies on George Foreman grill in Niceville

NICEVILLE — Responding to a house fire last week, Niceville police officers and firefighters encountered an odd sight.

When firefighters got to the home around 5:30 p.m., they could see smoke coming from inside. A naked man opened the front door, said, “I’m sorry” and closed the door. Police officers arrived shortly after to assist. The man came to the door again, left it open and went back into the house.

The man admitted to drinking two liters of vodka and smoking marijuana starting around 9 a.m. that morning. He was examined at the scene and had no life-threatening injuries, the report said. He refused further medical treatment.

Based on the fire department’s investigation, the man allegedly tried baking cookies on a George Foreman grill — which he left unattended. The grill and cookies caught fire, so he put dry towels on top of the grill. Those caught fire, too, causing the fire to spread.

According to the offense report from the Police Department, the man showed no signs of understanding the danger he was in. There were several things on fire inside the home, including some towels. An officer detained the man and removed him from the house for his own safety. Firefighters said that if he had stayed in the home much longer, he could have possibly died from smoke inhalation.

In the report, an officer said he and another officer were in the house for about five minutes and had a hard time breathing. Firefighters went inside with oxygen masks to remove the burning items.

Never heard of Niceville before but after reading the story I knew it had to be in Floriduh.

He should have tried to make ganja brownies instead.

The apology was because he didn’t have any burnt donuts to offer the officers.

Ganja brownies are best cooked in an EZ Bake Oven.

Cooking with a lightbulb is really underrated.

What a breakfast.

Sometimes, shrinkage is a good thing.

A hard-core alcoholic can easily go through a half-gallon of vodka a day.

The other day the kid’s burnt the pizza and set off the new automatic fire alarm. And I was embarrassed meeting the firetruck at the driveway even with my clothes on!

My sister fell off the wagon after 7 years of sobriety - her excuse was that she took Nyquil one evening for a cold. The following day she went through a quart of Vodka. Her usual was two quarts iirc.

I've been sober for a while... and I avoid Nyquil like the plague. No matter how much sobriety, many alcoholics pick up where they left off.

We couldn't afford the Suzie Homemaker EZ Bake oven. My sister had to settle for the Movie Time Popcorn Maker. That was also powered by a light bulb.
