xQc fires off a fire extinguisher in his room while streaming

During a recent livestream, Felix “xQc” attempted to create a display of his own with a fire extinguisher after watching iShowSpeed set off fireworks in his room.

While he did not set it off at full blast, the substances released from the extinguisher could be damaging to xQc’s stream set up and other possessions in the long term.

After watching iShowSpeed’s indoors fireworks, xQc sets off fire extinguisher

While watching iShowSpeed, xQc expressed his confusion as to why the former did not unplug the smoke alarms before attempting his stunt. However, his chat cautioned him, stating that doing so would have prevented someone from being called. It would be an unwise move because the fire could have gotten out of control. Others simply told him that it was illegal.

xQc pointed out that he had a fire extinguisher in his room, and so he would not go through the same problems as Speed. The streamer asserted that if a fire broke out, he would be covered and would not need anyone.

Felix's chat suggested that he try using it, and the streamer obliged. After struggling with the extinguisher for a few moments, he exclaimed when the apparutus suddenly started working:

“You have to shake it? You have to shake it? That’s it? I just go, Ah!”

Felix laughed and started to swipe the extinguisher towards his fan, holding his breath before doing it again. His chat had mixed responses, with some telling him to go ahead, while others called him foolish.

After choking and coughing, the streamer put his shirt over his face, asking whether he was supposed to breathe in the fumes. He continued to cough and struggle as the powder lingered in the air.

Reddit reacts to xQc setting off fire extinguisher

Many on Reddit were absolutely baffled by this particular clip. It was a direct result of the iShowSpeed clip, but instead of harming his house with fireworks, Felix potentially harmed himself and his electronic devices.

Fire extinguishers release corrosive substances that cause significant harm to wires, electronic items, and other such expensive items.

However, some on Reddit believe that the streamer does not care about damaging his set up. As one user pointed out, he wasted $14K on a couch. Several replies also alluded to the fact that he has lost a lot of money on gambling streams.

One reply remarked on the irony of a streamer who, after watching someone almost destroy their house in a fire, showed off fire prevention tools, but still destroyed their possessions. Several responded and said that they loved it, but thought that Felix's actions were dumb.

While the streamer may have had good intentions in showing off that he could prevent a fire in his streaming room, all he wound up doing was potentially damaging every electronic apparatus in the room. Many saw it as reckless, even if they found it entertaining.
