This house fire occurred today around 1pm in the Stoney Creek area of Ontario, Canada. The home was under construction when workers noticed a small fire. In looking at the video it appears as though the “small fire” was much bigger when firefighters arrived!
The fire went to three alarms. The Hamilton Fire Department responded to the fire.

Our jobs are dangerous…we all know that. When we have a fire, people flock to see what is going on. Nowadays, people come prepared with their video capable phones.
Take this video below for instance. This guy starts out his video by saying “Shits Burning Down!”. He then exclaims that the video will be on youtube within 5 minutes.
And then…When a firefighter stumbles, the amateur videographer quickly exclaims that it will also be on Fail Blog…apparently a blog about people who have misfortune or make stupid mistakes.
He continues to make remarks about the firefighter. Luckily it does not get out of hand.
Wait for it at the 1:50 mark.
I typically don’t have a problem about people whipping out their phones. I just make sure they can take pictures of things they don’t need to see. I cannot control them or what they do with it.
As for this guy…I wish he would have just shut his mouth…I don’t mind looking at videos of fires, but play by play from someone who doesn’t have a clue about firefighting is unnecessary and unwelcome.
The fire happened at Dollar Giant in Huntsville, Ontario.
Townhouse Fire in Barrie, Ontario, Canada
The video shows the fire before firefighters got to it. You might want to mute it…on second thought, it is kind of amusing to hear what the children have to say during the fire.
