During the filming of The Santa Clause 2, actor David Krumholtz, known for his role as Bernard the Elf, found himself in a real-life heroic situation on set. A piece of lighting equipment overheated, causing a fire to break out on the two-story set. Fortunately, some of the children on set, numbering around 150, were the first to notice the smoke and alerted Krumholtz.
Remaining calm to avoid alarming the children, Krumholtz swiftly guided them to safety before informing the crew about the fire. His quick thinking and actions helped prevent the fire from spreading further, earning him praise and gratitude from the producers.
