Firefighters in Zurich, Switzerland were able to avert disaster recently when they received a frantic call from an elderly woman to extinguish a flaming television. But after racing to the rescue, firefighters were able to resolve the crisis with the simple push of a button.

Once firefighters were able to convince the woman she was actually viewing a film and not a fire, they simply turned the television off to eliminate the robust video flames and calm the now embarrassed elder.
