The Derricoshad a huge scare in their family home — and it’ll all unfold on season 4 ofDoubling Down with the Derricos.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek at Tuesday night’s episode, the family experiences a fire alarm, a smoky kitchen and a full evacuation of their home. It all begins with parents Karen and Deon hear a beeping coming from somewhere in their home. One of their children yells, “Smoke!” which begins their quest to evacuate all of their 14 children.
The smoke appears to be coming from the kitchen or living room area on the first floor of the family home, though, at that moment, there’s no telling what caused the possible fire.

Through the chaos, their kids flock out both the front and back doors. The parents try to round up each child — Darian, 17; Derrick, 12; 11-year-old twins Dallas and Denver; 9-year-old quintuplets Deonee, Daician, Daiten, Deniko and Dariz; 5-year-old twins Diez and Dior, and 3-year-old triplets Dawsyn, De’Aren and Dyver — but dad Deon runs back into the home when they realize some of the kids didn’t make it outside.
“We’ve gotta go back in there, Karen,” he says. “We’ve gotta call 911.”
On the sidewalk across the street, mom Karen is already dialing 911 while standing beside a few of her kids. “Whose down here?” Deon yells into the home “Boys, girls, where are you?”
Karen appears to get in contact with a 911 dispatcher, though the clip cuts off before firefighters arrive. The last thing viewers see is the phone call, and a desperate Deon running back into the smoky home to find the rest of the kids.
