Here at the Chive, we have a lot of respect for the meme. One of the very first memes was created by photographer Dave Roth in 2008 when he photoshopped a picture of his daughter, Zoe, into a photo of a burning house. Since then many incarnations of the firestarter have scorched the net. Zoe has grown up a bit (pics below) and today we tip our hats to one of the founding fathers daughters of the meme. Here's to you Zoe!

Love it. It’s still hard to beat the orginal
yeah, #5 is the worst disaster of these by far..
All grown up huh…
So she is what 8 now instead of 5?
DAaaaamn shes almost legal to sex up!
Listen up asshole. This is a child. I don’t care who the hell you think you are. That shit’s not funny.
Now the pics themselves…she’s cuter than a bug’s ear and I’m glad folks had fun with the photoshopping. Miss…if your parents read some of these comments to you…I bet you have a great imagination. Keep having fun.
10 more years Brah!
and apparently LOLinNotLaughing takes his internets very seriously. I mean, he called Mook an asshole, thats srs business right?
last
I’d tap that.
Pedobear jokes = funny
Real life pedos = sick bastards who I wish were castrated
Anybody who hit the “like” button on Chris comment: WTF
He probably refreshed the page and clicked like over 9000 times!
How about I tap your head with an engine block?
“I’d tap that”
I think that he means OJ.
Shamefully, I admit that I'd tap that too. I just prefer a tighter fit, that's all.
Yes, the original is the only one that has any impact.
She still scares the shit out of me. I know, deep down, she is capable of immeasureable evil.
“She still scares the shit out of me. I know, deep down, she is capable of immeasureable evil.”
Of course. She’s a female.
When I saw “she grew up” I thought she’d be all nubile college chick with hard nips. You just ripped me off, I want that 45 seconds back and a bandaid for my finger that got blistered frantically scrolling down looking for the nubile……….nevermind but you get what I’m saying right?
Uhhh…. if the original was in 2008, you knew she would only be 2 years older….
those were shit the only one that was good was the house burning one.
cute girl………..
but definitely i rather not to get close to her within 50 miles
#5 FTW!
Wow, #12 is a screen shot from Columbine…that’s…really funny?
O_o
Yeah 12 is a screencap of those pussies Eric Harris and Dylan Kleibolt. Fuck those cowards.
Wow, grew up a whole 2 years….. ::rolls eyes::
should the other girl in #14v feel in danger?
#5 and #9 rock!
#12 is not funny. I don’t think that situation will ever be something you can joke about.
the original picture is not photoshopped, he simply took the picture of a house fire with his daughter in the foreground.

You’re the firestarter, twisted firestarter…
Most are pretty funny, except for #12. That’s not something to joke about at all. I don’t see why it was even posted :/
Before seeing the date of the original, did anyone else expect “Disaster Girl” grown up to be our very own HHNF? shes crazy enough
I agree with several above about #12. That may be enough to have me stop coming to this site..actually, i believe it is.
The first photo itself is real, not photo shopped. Dave Roth took it when firemen were burning a house on their block for a demonstration. There are other photos to back it up, and he has a blog documenting it.
As others have said, the first picture is real. Roth didnae no photoshop, ye get me? Yeah. Well.
Probably time for an article edit.
number 12 is my favorite
I have to wonder about the wisdom of any father posting photos of his pre-pubescent daughter on the internet – especially on a site like this. Some of the comments already posted are my evidence, if you needed more than just common sense. She is a very pretty little girl, and therefore she should be hidden from society at large as thoroughly as possible.
