Streamer Arrested for Setting Couch on Fire During Live Stream

In a shocking incident, Finnish Kick streamer ‘Pullis’ found himself entangled with the law after igniting his own couch multiple times during a live broadcast. This bold stunt, aired in December 2024, has left viewers both amused and bewildered.

Known for their outrageous antics, Kick streamers have increasingly pushed the boundaries of online entertainment. However, Pullis managed to grab headlines by setting his expensive couch, valued at $8,000, ablaze while simultaneously announcing his move from Finland to Estonia. With over 10,000 followers on the platform, he seemed to revel in the chaos unfolding within his living room.

At the beginning of his stream, Pullis casually remarked, “I don’t know what the f*ck is going on. I think my sofa is burning. What the f*ck? Why the f*ck is my sofa burning?” This commentary set the stage for the bizarre turn of events that followed. He disclosed that after trying to sell the couch to his friends and receiving no offers, he decided to simply set it on fire.

The state of Pullis’s apartment suggested a lack of care, with the living room in disarray. Just a few minutes into the stream, the couch erupted into flames, prompting Pullis to extinguish it with a blanket. The response, however, was futile as the smoke accumulation soon made him nauseous. Incredibly, Pullis remained undeterred, declaring that he would “burn it again,” only for the flames to reignite as he attempted to relive his childhood memories.

“It was a funny joke to burn my sofa, but goddamn, it didn’t go down,” Pullis lamented. “It smells disgusting.” Despite the escalating danger, he continued to engage his audience, showing little regard for the circumstances.

Streamer Arrested Following Couch Fire Incident

Unfortunately for Pullis, the escapade took a serious turn when he ignited the couch for a third time, necessitating a scarf over his face to shield himself from the acrid smoke. This reckless behavior attracted the attention of law enforcement, who promptly responded to the scene and escorted the streamer out in handcuffs.

Firefighters also arrived to manage the situation, and Pullis’s stream concluded with a police officer seizing his phone to turn off the broadcast, marking a chaotic end to what had become an infamous event.

This incident has garnered widespread attention across social media platforms, serving as a prime example of the extreme lengths to which Kick streamers will go to capture viewers’ attention. Pullis isn’t the only streamer to generate buzz through risky stunts; similar outrageous activities have created waves in the online community. In September, Kick streamer Mike Smalls live-streamed his attempts to weather Hurricane Helene in a tent, which nearly cost him his life. Similarly, in November, another streamer sought medical attention for rabies after being bitten by a squirrel on-air.

These incidents highlight a growing trend among streaming platforms, where creators constantly seek attention through increasingly audacious actions, often blurring the lines of safety and entertainment.
