My house burned down after I made a VERY basic mistake in the kitchen 13:43 EDT 01 Aug 2025, updated 14:30 EDT 01 Aug 2025 By EMILY LEFROY A woman has candidly detailed how a simple mistake in the kitchen completely altered her life.
Kyndall Zachary thought nothing of it when she put a brownie on a paper plate to warm it in the microwave.
The 22-year-old accidentally pressed two minutes instead of the intended 20 seconds and, when she opened the appliance, found it filled with smoke.
'I grabbed the paper plate of brownies and ran them under water and then threw them away in the trash can,' the North Carolina student told the Daily Mail.
Kyndall had also wiped the kitchen counter off with a paper towel before placing that in the trash can too, which was located under the counter in a cupboard.
'Forty-five minutes later, after I cleared all the smoke out by opening the doors and having fans going, I go to my room and am about to go to bed,' she said.
'I thought everything was fine,' she admitted. 'I kept the fans going and I took my two small dogs with me.'
Kyndall was almost asleep when she heard a 'weird beeping' sound before getting up to investigate what it was.
'I walked out of my room and turned the corner to see a bright orange glow, smoke and heard crackling of the fire coming from the kitchen,' she said. 'I sprinted back in my room called 911 grabbed my two small dogs that were with me.'
The quick-thinking young woman, who instantly knew she had to evacuate, alerted her brother who was in the basement and ran out the front door.
According to Kyndall, the fire started in the trash can almost an hour after she had thrown the brownie away.
'It got too hot in the trash can, mixed with paper towels also in the trash can it started a spark,' she explained.
'The scary part is that the beeping wasn't even the fire alarm because the fire alarm never went off,' she added.
'The fire possibly tripped the power of the microwave and that was the beeping that made me get up,' she explained. 'The fire department said had it been a few more minutes it would have been an entirely different story.'
Kyndall suffers from PSTD from the incident, admitting she has had panic attacks and nightmares about her house catching on fire again.
'I refuse to cook anything right now, I can't look at or even smell anything fire related right now,' she said.
