A warning has been issued by firefighters after a TikTok heater trend resulted in a person’s flat catching fire.
The flat, located in Derby in the UK, caught fire late last year and resulted in 50 people being evacuated. Following the fire, it was announced that the blaze had been caused by a homemade heating device that was making the rounds of TikTok.
The trend circulating on the popular app shows people how they can use terracotta pot heaters to create a “chimney” style heating system using tea lights.
