Customer Becomes Unlikely Hero, Extinguishes Fire at Local Dunkin' Donuts

A routine coffee run turned into an unexpected emergency at a local Dunkin' Donuts when a customer, identified as TikTok user @nurse_xtina129, observed a small fire erupting inside a toaster oven. The incident, captured on video, shows flames visible within the appliance while staff members initially appear to be going about their duties. The customer can be heard asking employees if they have a fire extinguisher and where it is located, urging them to take action. An employee subsequently retrieves a fire extinguisher, and with assistance from the filming customer, successfully discharges it into the oven, quickly dousing the flames. The immediate aftermath shows the store interior filled with a cloud of white extinguishing agent. The customer, who later stated, "Holy shit, I just saved the Warwick Dunkin'," confirmed that everyone was safe and she still managed to get her coffee. The video has since gone viral, sparking a debate in the comments section regarding the appropriate response to such a fire, with some praising the customer's initiative and others questioning the use of a fire extinguisher for a seemingly small blaze, citing potential damage to equipment and the need for professional fire department intervention.
