House fire lasted two days

Yesterday I had my second fire since I began playing Sims4. My male Sim was cooking and the stove caught fire as well as my Sim. He was in a full-on panic but wouldn't move away from the stove. I was unable to cancel the 'I'm on fire!" action in his qeue so he could be directed to extinguish the blaze. Thankfully, his girlfriend was there and I was able to cancel her reaction to the fire in her qeue then she used the fire extinguisher to put out the fire, saving her boyfriend and the kitchen. Both of the fires I have had began on the stove for some reason. It really caught me off-guard as fires have been almost non-existent in my game. So after reading this I am wondering if this is another glitch that is happening after the latest patch. My game has been wonky as heck since that patch dropped. Just in case it is, I am going to install sprinklers in all my playable households because I don't want to lose any of my Sims while I am doing a rotation through my families. We all know our Sims aren't very smart when it comes to fires. :#
