The unidentified men film what’s going on as they sound unsure of what to do.
“You’re going to be OK. You’re going to be OK, alright?” the man filming reassures the dog, patting its head.
“Oh s***,” he then says, as the nearing inferno threatens the home.
It is unknown how quickly the fire spread to them because at one point, the other man asks the person filming if they should pack their bags and try to leave.
“Don’t worry about that, dude. Holy s***,” he responds as the flames grow angrier.
The pair confirmed that they had turned off their gas, cutting the risk of an explosion.
The cameraman is then asked if they should open a window, but the other man fires back, “Don’t open anything.”
