Shock as lavish wedding venue goes up in flames while blissfully unaware newlyweds enjoy their first dance
A dream wedding in Sydney took a dramatic turn after indoor fireworks ignited a fire, triggering the sprinkler system and drenching the well-groomed guests. The incident unfolded at Renaissance Weddings and Events in Lidcombe on Sunday, where newlyweds Matthew and Teresa were celebrating their special day. In a video shared to social media, the couple was seen making a joyful entrance to their wedding reception, greeted by cheering loved ones as a live band played. But the fun quickly descended into chaos, as indoor fireworks and pyrotechnics erupted near a floral archway and lit the pricey blooms on fire. Blissfully unaware of the growing flames behind them, the couple and guests continued celebrating with the fire burning in the background. In a video capturing the aftermath of the blaze, large puddles could be seen on the dancefloor after water rained down from an overhead sprinkler system. The bride, still clutching her bouquet, could be seen taking in the chaos surrounding her as the camera panned to soaked tables, chairs and well-groomed guests. The footage drew a mixed reaction on social media, with some questioning the safety of indoor fireworks, while others were more sympathetic. 'Why do people insist on indoor fireworks at weddings?' one wrote. One attendee praised the quick-thinking staff who soaked up all the puddles. 'The manager did the best job anyone can ever imagine. He handled everything in a professional and good way to make the event continue,' they said. 'The event ended up turning awesome the venue got cleaned up quickly and the party continued. They ate and danced all night.' Others applauded the dedication of the musicians who continued to perform unfazed while the blaze was growing. 'Love how the drummers played like when the Titanic was sinking and the violinists still played,' one person wrote. In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, Fire Rescue NSW confirmed they attended the site, but reset the fire alarm and no further action was taken. In 2013, Renaissance Weddings and Events was accused by its local council of flouting fire safety regulations by using indoor fireworks. The Lidcombe venue was noted to have flouted fire regulations by a local council in 2013 A council report included warnings from police that live fireworks were being used inside the venue, which were not part of previous interim occupation certification. 'The potential risk to council in the event of a serious incident occurring at the subject premises is significant,' the report stated. Two years later, a wild brawl outside the wedding venue led to the arrests of four people after tensions between two groups erupted into violence. A 33-year-old man and a 23-year-old man were arrested and charged with affray and resisting arrest. A 20-year-old woman was fined for offensive language after allegedly abusing police, while a 24-year-old man was arrested for ignoring move-on orders.

Sky Sports reporter soaked on live TV by sprinkler ahead of pre-season friendly
SKY SPORTS reporter Alan Irwin found himself drenched after being blasted by sprinklers ahead of a Nottingham Forest friendly. The reporter was preparing to go live at Chesterfield's SMH Group Stadium when he was caught out by a sprinkler at his feet. 5 5 5 The broadcaster was on camera in the corner of the pitch ready to go live with his pre-match coverage. Suddenly, a jet of water caught him square in the chest, sending him fleeing off screen. Even the camera person was caught off guard, with the frame briefly showing the gushing sprinkler before shakily panning to focus on a soaking wet Irwin. Luckily, he saw the funny side of the situation. He said afterwards: "The life of a Sky Sports News reporter is not always as simplistic as it seems. "Do NOT stand on top of a sprinkler because this can be the result - an absolute drenched Alan Irwin." Irwin was able to take the accident in good spirits, not least because it provided a reprieve for the 26C weather. 5 5 Alan was preparing to cover a pre-season friendly between League Two side Chesterfield and Nottingham Forest. Crystal Palace RELEGATED from Europa League with Nottingham Forest set to be promoted amid multi-club ownership row Forest are kicking off their pre-season friendlies amid confusion and controversy on multiple fronts ahead of next campaign. Morgan Gibbs-White's transfer to Spurs is on hold as the club consider legal action related to accusations of an "illegal approach" to the player. And the attacking star was left out of the squad for the clash today. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace's ejection from the Europa League has raised questions as to whether Forest will now be promoted to the competition. Forest had initially qualified for the Conference League via a seventh place league finish, but are hoping to capitalise on the Eagles' removal to jump up a level.

Video: Golden Retriever Doesn't Know How to React Every Time a Sprinkler Pops Up
Dogs have an appetite for discovery that the world can't keep up with. Our furbabies stumble upon little wonders all day long, which instantly fill them with joy. All it takes is a walk around the neighborhood to find a new friend or plaything, because life is a never-ending adventure when you love to sniff around. In one such Instagram video, a Golden Retriever learns about a sprinkler. However, she doesn't know how to react every time one pops up. Your dog might have the most quirky reaction to something completely ordinary to you, and that's okay and nothing to worry about. For instance, this Golden Retriever was totally clueless after seeing the sprinkler pop up from the ground and even tried to interact with the same in a hilarious video. The Instagram Reel featured the furbaby named Gamja making unusual discoveries while on her daily walks around the neighborhood. Since canines are naturally curious beings, she gives in to her urge to explore. The compilation video showed the Golden Retriever getting bamboozled seeing the sprinkler pop up from the ground. In the first throwback clip, Gamja was only a little puppy when she came across the device during one of her morning adventures. She looked cautious, but that would change as she grew up. The post then showed her trying to sniff it before heckling the sprinkler with her paws and even barking at it to intimidate the inanimate object. In some snippets, it almost seemed like she was trying to interact with the water-spraying gadget. Finally comfortable around the sprinkler, the Golden Retriever was completely baffled when it went back in at the end of the video. The caption captured Gamja's reaction, 'so many Wows,' revealing that sprinklers have never failed to amuse her. In an additional comment, the dog owner explained that she used to be 'cautious about it when she was a puppy,' but has become 'more curious' now. Fellow Golden Retriever account, @daisythegoldiee, further shared their joy on how easy it is to amuse pups.

Bear Cub Playing in Sprinkler Like a Kid Is Total Cuteness Overload
Bear Cub Playing in Sprinkler Like a Kid Is Total Cuteness Overload originally appeared on PetHelpful. Is there anything cuter than toddlers running around under a sprinkler? Yes, there is! It's a bear cub living his best life in the front yard of a California home, running through the sprinkler without a care in the world! Heather Klein, a community resident who was out for a walk with her husband, recently shared the adorable video with ABC7 News, and honestly, it's the cutest thing you will watch all day! The little bear cub got away from his mama for a few moments, and during that time, he made the best of his unsupervised freedom. The little guy gets up super close to the sprinkler head, and while sitting on his hind legs, starts swatting at the water as it sprays all over him! He watches the unit as it turns, and the water sprays him all over again! After a few moments, the bear cub turns and runs back to the safety of a nearby tree. He climbs just a few feet up the tree trunk and turns to watch as the water continues to spray around the front yard. This brief hiatus from playtime ends quickly, and he heads back over for another round of water his mama arrives, most likely to put a stop to his shenanigans. She slowly walks up the hilly landscape to retrieve her wayward cub. Moms everywhere can probably guess what she is thinking, and it's something like, 'I told you we weren't going to play in the sprinkler today!' Many viewers absolutely loved seeing this little guy and his free-spirited antics! The comment section was full of heart emojis and smiley faces. One person said, 'I love when animal babies act like actual babies!' Several asked this: 'If not friend, why friend shaped?' Another viewer mentioned, 'He was too hot, and just like toddlers, you can't turn your back on them for a second!' Lastly, someone said, 'Definitely going to meet my death trying to play in the sprinklers with a bear cub!' That comment made us laugh out loud! Many people just love baby animals. We all know it is not safe to actually play with them, but this little bear cub made a simple lawn-watering session look like the most fun ever!
