Viral News Snippet: Simi Valley Resident’s “Fyre Festival 2.0” Emergency Kit Goes Viral; City Asks People to Stop Packing S’mores

SIMI VALLEY, CA — As the relentless Simi Valley fire forces thousands to evacuate, one local’s emergency “go-bag” has become the internet’s most unlikely hero—and its biggest punchline.

When authorities ordered residents to flee the encroaching flames, TikTok user @EmKayDee_ packed what she called “the essentials for the apocalypse.” Her viral video, now viewed 4.2 million times, shows a standard emergency kit: water, batteries, first aid… and an entire charcuterie board, a bottle of natural wine, and a fireproof safe containing only her AncestryDNA results.

“I figured, if my house burns down, at least I’ll finally know if I’m 12% Scandinavian while I eat brie in a parking lot,” she says in the clip, as ash falls behind her.

The irony? The joke is now trending under #SimiFireChic. Critics are roasting the “main character energy” of a disaster, while fire officials have issued a dry PSA: “Please do not confuse ‘emergency evacuation’ with ‘glamping.’ We repeat: Do not roast s’mores over the 101 freeway.”

Meanwhile, the city’s official Twitter/X account posted a single, exhausted response: “We are literally on fire. Please stop asking if there’s a ‘vibe check’ for the smoke.”
