This guy knows the wildfire wasn't the only thing blazing hot in his neighborhood.

Check out this absolutely fantastic interview in which a man without a shirt asks out KTLA reporter Courtney Friel while she does a live shot about a wildfire sweeping its way through suburban Los Angeles.

After Friel approaches him, he doesn't beat around the burning bush, saying, "Wow, you're super pretty. Wanna go on a date sometime?"

He also says the blaze is "pretty cool" because shirtless dudes home in the middle of the day clearly don't have much of a grasp on reality.

Forget the past nine years -- this is the 'How I Met Your Mother' series we would've loved to have seen.
