We're all familiar with the concept of a 'scenery selfie.' The idea is a basic one - you travel to somewhere that has a famous landmark, for example, the Statue of Liberty of the Eiffel Tower, take a picture in front of it, and make sure you include your face in it just to make sure that everyone knows you really went there. Most of the time, whatever's pictured in the background is impressive. For four-year-old Zoe Roth, it was a house fire. Not only that, it was a house fire she seemed to be enjoying, judging by her smile.
People's reactions to the photo varied from being amused by the naivety of youth to shivering in fear that she may be the world's youngest and most evil arsonist. Roth is no longer four years old, but she still enjoys a good fire. Take this deliberate recreation of the famous picture, for example. Based on her Instagram account, she seems to be keen on traveling. If she turns up near you, be sure to keep her away from matches.
