Text overlaying the clip, reads: "Our landlord just texted us a video saying omg [oh my god] the fireplace on your tv makes it look like the building is on fire."
The camera then cuts to a shot from the street, where it indeed looks like there is a fire ablaze in the second-floor room.
This test is overlaid: "This is what she sent us," accompanied by a laughing-face emoji.
The funny footage, which was shared on December 8, is captioned: "I was laughing way hard for way too long about this #fy #christmas."
