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.

If he kept a closet full of Doritos this wouldn’t happen.

My cookie recipe says to bake at 375 for 12-14 minutes in the oven. Wonder how long it takes on the George Foreman grill? And, do I have to rotate the cookies to get those nice grill marks on them? I’m feeling like a little experimenting is in order. Guess I should keep my fire extinguisher handy.

He burned his cookies?

He’s lucky his Ding Dong didn’t get toasted.

Great Flaming Wolf Spiders!

That explains everything.

Most bad things can be traced back to Flaming Wolf Spiders.

“Naked Florida man starts house fire while baking cookies on George Foreman grill in Niceville” That’s almost as good a headline as “Headless Body in Topless Bar”!

It reminds me the time I tried to warm some crispy tortillas in the regular toaster. Not a good idea. I didn't realize crispy tortillas are loaded with oil and burn like a Tiki torch! Don't try this at home, kids!

He probably used his bath towel.
