Turns out that things getting out of control isn't confined to the streets of Ireland on St. Patrick's Day.

Tom Lavery was enjoying the Paddy's Day parade over the weekend in New Haven, Connecticut when a fire broke out in a dumpster. This being the 21st century, Lavery decided to record himself in front of the burning container as firefighters were putting out the flames and got a bit of a surprise courtesy of them which really served him right.
