Something like this is the 1000% last thing I would record. Insurance is going to dissect this video so they don’t have to pay a dime.
Don’t record, tell them it caught fire and you don’t know how, tell them you were unable to handle the fire, and for god sake, don’t show a video of you mocking the fire.
As someone who actually works in insurance, having a video showing you are activiely watching damage happen without attempting to mitigate it (in this case- cut the circuit breaker grab a fire extinguisher or both) looks much worse than not having a video.
My first thought was "wtf could they even do if you don't record it? My shit caught fire and it wasn't arson on my part, so they can't really argue my claim."
Then you come along saying some shit that makes sense, like "if anything, the fact your ass stood around recording it instead of taking steps to stop it looks even worse."
Record, but never tell.
Same with accidents or so.
Let the others make their claims and at the latest sane moment come with your proof after they have several wrong statements on record.
