The narrator then explains that Bart causes the fire during one of his pranks, which quickly spirals out of control. The fire destroys properties, and firefighters try to control the situation.
The video shows how vulnerable communities are to natural disasters. It also highlights how the scenes in the episode are very similar to the recent wildfires.
