House fire caught on camera 🔥 - Get down low - WATCH TO THE END!

House fire in Inner West, Sydney Australia caused by electrical fault in dehumidifier. Security camera captured 12min 5sec of footage in the home before camera tripped off. This video is sped up so only 2min 19sec…..watch to end.

Shows good example for fire training on how smoke descends and how to get down low and go, go, go!

No-one (including pets) were hurt, fire alarm/detectors are on (listen to long version if you need to hear them) just extensive smoke damage throughout the house.

This should be a commercial for fire alarms....

I’m a retired firefighter. Most people don’t know how rapidly a fire can spread. Given the right items (fuel) inside a house you can have only seconds to save your life. Several times me and my crew barely made it to safety when a flashover occurred. You don’t have to be in the same room as the fire.

As a former volunteer firefighter I applaud these videos. It shows how fast fire and smoke spread and how quick both can kill!!

It's scary how fast smoke can over take a house like this. If you was taking a nap upstairs you'd be dead with just two breaths of that black smoke

[ataraxia]

This is terrifying! When the dark smokes goes into the living room, it looks like dark clouds in the sky that’s about to spawn a tornado

When this happens it is important to remember to stay calm get to the ground and crawl to the side of the house not on fire yes it is scary. If you are trapped by said fire on the 2 nd floor if you can put damp towels on the floor near the door, next dial your local emergency number let them know you are trapped on the second floor give them your address. -Fomer EMS trainee

So sorry to whomever lost their home, hope something came to help after that

Let's not forget about the guys who come in afterwards to clean everything up and make life normal again for these folks. I used to do fire, flood and smoke restoration when I was teenager. One of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had.

[missmarietv]

I’m sorry you had to go through that 🙏🏽🥺, prayers to you and your family

[QueenSunstar]

Notice the smoke. See how it stays by the ceiling? That’s why we tell you to drop low and crawl. You don’t want to be breathing that.

There is a creepiness to how the black smoke slowly seeps into the room where the camera is. It's like an entity making its way through the hallway and into where it's real danger is seen and realized, then the choking feeling of how it looks really becomes apparent. It's like a lurking monster that could kill if this was someone's bedroom and they were in that room in deep sleep and wake up too late to escape unharmed. All of that makes this a very scary video. Just as others here said, this is a good advertisement for smoke alarms and for keeping your smoke alarms in good working order.

That’s so sad to see. I’m so sorry for the people.

For people who don’t see the description. The video is sped up, the chirping is an alarm and sprinklers put out the fire. I thought I just listened to a bird dying.

[HenryBloggit]

Every time I see something like this I think of the poor terrified pets who might have been in the house 😢

[dolphinsblu]

That's crazy, I'm sorry you went through this but you just never know what's going to happen. I'm just glad no one was hurt!
Be mindful of cell phone chargers in your bed... my friends son (13) had his charging from an extention cord and it was laying on the pillow next to him. When I went to check on him I saw it and unplugged it immediately because it was so hot. He had no clue I was even in his room, thank goodness a fire didn't start.

Absolutely terrifying. You really have to move fast to get out of a burning house safely.

[notsohairybiker]

That is why we close all doors when we go to sleep or go out.

I went to a company fire extinguisher safety course, I was told it takes on average 2 minutes for a house to be fully involved. My neighbours house took a little longer (about 10-15 minutes) to be fully involved, but that was because the fire started outside. When I got to his house to wake him (his alarm had not gone off, even though he was careful to maintain them) the fire was just peaking it’s way in through the wall. He is lucky I came home when I did!

[Queen_EL]

Those should always be unplugged when not in use as well as space heaters.

Did you see how the smoke covered up the once bright red flames in the hall? The smoke is That thick, THAT dark!!!
