IRL Twitch streamer's equipment caught on fire while streaming from a bowling alley

Finnish Twitch streamer Juuso "TurunPug" had quite an accident on camera after his IRL streaming setup, camera, and bag caught on fire while he was out bowling with friends. Hailing from South-Western Finland, more precisely the city of Turku, Juuso's camera spontaneously started burning while he was bowling and a red glow could be seen by the viewers before the feed cut off.

After a couple of minutes, TurunPug resumed his stream, and a firetruck could be seen parked outside the bowling alley. The Twitch creator assessed the damage to his equipment and revealed to his audience that his hands were also burnt while he tried to get the burning bag out of the establishment.

It appears something similar happened to TurunPug after his bag with the streaming equipment caught fire mid-stream. After the clip started garnering attention online, viewers clarified it was probably a faulty battery that ignited during the broadcast.
