- 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!
Long version available on this link: • House Fire on Camera -... for fire safety training purposes.
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....
True that, as a way of bringing awareness to the importance of having a working smoke detector/ fire alarm 🚨 system in the house.
…and home sprinklers.
Or for people commenting before reading descriptions of a video.
@@Groot-zc5rz I knew it had to be muted or something…
@@Groot-zc5rz I would still be a good commercial for fire alarms regardless of your snarky response. (how quickly toxic smoke fills a house etc etc) You should manage your anger in other ways. Be well.
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.
My Dad is a retired fire fighter. Last year he came home to find his house completely engulfed. Most people would run in to try and save stuff. His years in the service saved him from going that .
Well to anybody that needs an example of how fast fire can spread.

Always watch out for that Backdraft.
Our house burned on December 23, 89. I still feel sick when I hear fire trucks. Terrifying and so fast.
You are so right my Brother. Also Set Firefighter, Escape plans , Meeting spots, Smoke Detectors and C-O detectors if there are gas appliances in the home. And if is affordable a residential sprinkler system in the home. Civilians dont understand how fast a fire can start and grow. Fire doubles in size every 30 seconds in a normal residential structure. Stay safe..
As a former volunteer firefighter I applaud these videos. It shows how fast fire and smoke spread and how quick both can kill!!
That's how fast these things can ruin your entire (or end it) life. Firemen know this and why they take their job as seriously as a heart attack. Three firemen in my family and their dedication to purpose astounds me. I'm very, very proud of them and love them with my whole heart.
Yes! Whenever I see a fire truck, police car or ambulance with full blown sirens going, I say small prayer for them and the people on the receiving end. Also, I cringe when I see fire trucks or ambulance get stuck behind people that panic on the road and don’t what to do. Like you said seconds matter and when people are blocking them from doing their job, it’s frustrating.
It’s their job tho isn’t it.
I worked with firemen and I fully concur
makes u wonder why they dontm ake new homes more fire resistant. all these engineered wood, OSB, mdf are basically petroluem based products (the glue) that can light up very easily and fast
You're family members mentioned are heroes.
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
Wait that's all it takes? Holy shit
@@wakeupthisisntreal8168 Not really, but many people do not wake up when they are suffocating, it all depends
@@iij354 I know it's different but I've heard of entire families passing away overnight because of carbon monoxide poisoning they were not aware of.
@Actual_doge32 That's because carbon monoxide is odorless and invisible. When it gets in your system it drops your oxygen levels and you pass out, then die. From what I hear, it's not an awful way to go, but unless someone knows what's going on and knows what to do... you can't be saved.
@@wakeupthisisntreal8168 If the right materials are burning and end up in that smoke, then yes, two inhalations can kill you. Like something that makes Chlorine gas. Even just one inhalation of Chlorine gas can kill you. Materials that contain Formaldehyde that end up in smoke because they're burning is EXTREMELY toxic and can kill you in one or two breaths. All particle board and laminate wall paneling has Formaldehyde. So when a fire starts and has already burned any of these materials by the time you wake up and figure out that there is a fire, it's time to GET OUT, and if possible, hold your breath as you run out. So hopefully your bed is quite close to an exit so you only have to hold your breath for several seconds. Doing that may just save your life.
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
...or, like the storm sewer Demons in "Ghost."
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
Personally, I'd jump. I'll take broken bones over fire any day.
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.
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.
So sorry to whomever lost their home, hope something came to help after that
That is why we close all doors when we go to sleep or go out.
I do as well
I’m sorry you had to go through that 🙏🏽🥺,prayers to you and your family
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.
One f the dangers is waking up and jumping out of bed, standing up. That smoke may be toxic and immediately incapacitate you. AS THEY TEACH FIREFIGHTERS, GET DOWN AND CRAWL!
Every time I see something like this I think of the poor terrified pets who might have been in the house 😢
I wouldn't care about anything in my house. Just my pets. Just save them.
@@catnip2167 that’s a bit ridiculous don’t ya think? I think pictures of your family from all generations comes well before the animals
@@AarosConcerts
No, it's ridiculous to not understand animals feel pain and fear and pictures don't.
@@AarosConcertsphotos? Ur concerned about photos?
@@AarosConcerts I think when people say that they generally mean that if only 1 thing can be saved they'd like it to be the pets. That doesn't mean they wouldn't feel sad about inanimate objects.
Did you see how the smoke covered up the once bright red flames in the hall? The smoke is That thick, THAT dark!!!
I noticed too, at first I though the fire had been put out but then realized it was just the smoke blocking the flames.
It looks like the smoke might have smothered the fire. Whatever was burning, it must have been contained or not generated enough heat to flashover
Those should always be unplugged when not in use as well as space heaters.
That’s so sad to see. I’m so sorry for the people.
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.
Extention cords are sketchy to begin with
(Christmas tree's are a good example).
If I have to use them,
I will and put them away as soon as the task is done. Good thing you checked, that could have been tragic.
@@fredgervinm.p.3315 I was really scared when I felt how hot it was. When I told his parents they were clearly thankful. They are the kind of parents that make a point with telling you not to do something and I love that they do. They actually spoke to the fire department and asked if they're was anything they could put together for their kids and the kids in the neighborhood to keep them safe. It might be extreme but it works really well
@@dolphinsblu
I think that's a great way to "Parent"
(imho). If knowledge is power, share the wealth. I remember the FD coming to grade school, made such an impression on me, I became a Vol FF. You never know.
Be safe and Merry Christmas. : )
@@fredgervinm.p.3315 That's why I became a volunteer EMT... great minds! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I only charge my phone when I'm also in the room just in case, I also leave it on the floor or a hard surface that cannot burn.
Smoke detectors should be installed in modern homes, in my opinion, because they can help warn homeowners in the event of a fire.
Depending on where you live on this planet it's required by law to have a fire detector 😅
Did you read the description details?
They are required everywhere
@@lifestribulations6802 I'm talking about homeowners in my country who aren't required by law to have smoke detectors or even home CCTV.
Excellent video.
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!
💙 I'm sorry this happened to you 💙💙💙
just had a house fire a few months back…crazy to see!
Glad to hear the fire alarms worked okay!
Absolutely terrifying. You really have to move fast to get out of a burning house safely.
I love that sound of all the fire alarms going off good job 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing.
Damn that sucks.... I'm sorry you went through that.
Happy to see no one was injured.
Same
Me as well
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.
Hard to tell, but looks to be a faulty dehumidifer that started this. I heard the refrigerant blow out of it. They had a big recall on these so people need to check their units to see.
Holy Christ! From a dehumidifier jeez! Seems kind of odd having this in Australia
Why? Australia does not have house fires..? 🤔
Unplug appliances. When not in use
Also. Thou shalt not take the name of thy Lord your God in Vain
@@estelleschneider9033 well that works for you but your God is not my God . And remember this " whatever measure you mete out the same shall be meted out to you. Translation you will by judged by the way you judge.
@UC3_KiUZL3plbzk6D1GOrU0A essentially she blamed the home owners for leaving the dehumidifier plugged in the tried to chide me for the first two words of my own comment by quoting the Bible.
Yes, maybe for drying clothes? But it does seem odd..
When smoke consumes your lungs, it’s like getting the wind knocked out of you. People don’t realize you only have seconds to get out before too much smoke inhalation kills you
The important thing is that nobody was hurt. Or worse. Stuff can be replaced. A house fire at 1am was how my 5 & 7 yr old niece and nephew were killed. Scary stuff fires are.
❤
Oh no! R.I.P to those poor babies. 😞🙏 Condolences.
@@lauranewbie8765 why RIP atheists don't believe in RIP
This also shows why to close all doors in homes.
Closing that door might be the difference between loosing 1 room or the intire house to smokedamage if not flashover.
That’s the exact reason why the “open floor plan” that HGTV promotes so shamelessly is so dangerous.
Walls and doors are good.
This shows just how insidious smoke from a fire can be!
It will silently creep down and smother you, sucking the precious oxygen from every cell in tour body!
What make and model was the dehumidifier? Was it old? We use dehumidifiers. Now I’m a bit nervous.
Don't worry. Millions of people use them and you've watched only one fail.
Actually there was a recall a year or two ago on several brands due to something faulty on them.
You might want to try googling it if it's a concern.
I had a Gree dehumidifier that was recalled due to extreme fire hazard. I bought it used, so the company didn't send me a notice; fortunately I found out when I searched online for an instruction booklet.
Im a career firefighter. We go to fires caused by faulty dehumidifiers all the time. Had one a few shifts ago, total loss.
A good reason to show people that you really need to close all doors when going out and at night.
Why what the hell difference would that make
@@chauvinemmons You have obviously never taken a fire fighting course. If all doors are closed it slows down the spread of the fire giving occupants a little extra time to evacuate.
@@chauvinemmons It makes a HUGE difference in keeping fire contained and slowing the spread.
@@sarahmills7878not when theres gaps under the doors
@@shadowsinmymind9 It still helps to contain it. It's better than an open door.
That is so wild how fast that thick, black smoke spreads. I had anxiety watching that.
My worst nightmare...
Thank you for your visit and encouragement.
No smoke alarms?
Camera with audio 🆗
Smoke detector ❌
I guess no one was home during that time..
Thank God no one was there..
When I was a young mon in my 30's we resided in a new Development..
We has ranch homes and colonials
One early morning 🌄
Around 6:30-7:00 A.M..or neighbors home was on fire 🔥
They commuted to N.Y so thank God they were gone ..
I had never seen a house fire...the firemen came quickly...but in the short time it took for them to arrive..the house just seemed to go poof..so extremely quick people..I felt so sad for my neighbor...
Our Home, our place of rest from the world, our largest investment ..all gone
When the firemen came they went up on the roof..and cut it or axed it open
And then all came like an explosion of combustion...through tge roof
I do not do all ..but to help avoid fire
I read unplug all appliance not in use
Double check things.
My experience with my neighbors fire left a very deep impression on me..
I do recall them rebuilding afterward
House she'll sat for years
I viewed another house fire in full..on video..
Wish I could locate..they had a big fish tank...no one was there again thanks be to God only .. the only Word is "POOF"
once is has started
People caught in fires do not die from fire..I learned..the perish from
" Smoke Inhalation"
Soot in lungs 🫁 no oxygen
Then burn if unable to escape
God bless you all !! 🙏🙏
Never forget to switch off all electricity-using appliances before leaving home. It's better to unplug if necessary.
I just turned on a dehumidifier and TH-cam recommended me this videos.
And yet, not a single smoke detector went off
They say stay low to the floor! I see how the Smoke stays up near the ceiling!
Got a great 1080p WAYZE camera, but I didn’t hear a single fire alarm. In my house if one goes off, they all do and one is connected to my alarm system. Sorry for your loss.
Read the description
How this didn't flash over is beyond me.
Is the burned apparatus at the end of the video the culprit dehumidifier?
Yes it is!
@@lifestribulations6802 UGH!!! THE CULPRIT!! Naturally, we can't "blame" an inanimate appliance for being defective. That defect was caused by human error through manufacturing or by damaging the cord by stepping on it or pushing the appliance too close to the wall socket. Still, you can't help but grit your teeth with rage when an appliance that's supposed to provide service and comfort becomes a deadly and destructive weapon.
@@PJBovio… are you okay?
@@hishouha Meaning what? 🤔
@@PJBovio meaning we’re using “culprit” to mean the “cause” not the “fault”
This is why I leave the majority of my items unplugged
My husbands a firefighter/paramedic and has been for several years... his brother also is a firefighter/medic and his/their dads a Chief. If I can say one thing, it is that my husband was meant to be a firefighter. He absolutely LOVES running in these fires and saving people and pets (if he can). He got an award on his first year that most firemen don’t get for several years if ever, while on the dept. he has seen and done it all! He’s nearly lost his life in several flash overs, he’s fallen through floors, you name it. But he’s crazy like that, he’s meant for this job and I’ll say, if my or anyones house ever caught fire, he’s who you would want running in to save you and put the fire out. It just amazes me, and scares me at the same time. He’s had plenty of close calls but I’m very proud of him and I know he would sacrifice his life for anyone without hesitation. He is stationed at one of the busiest stations in the city for good reason. A fire spreads so fast and that smoke inhalation will take you out before the fire ever reaches you. Always change ur smoke detectors, it is crucial. Kudos to all the first responders for what they do, it’s not an easy job AT ALL and it takes someone pretty damn special to do it. 💝 (As for this video I noticed the dog bed on the floor, Im glad to know the dog(s) werent hurt or killed during this fire and that everyone is safe) 🙏
Thank him for his service . Much appreciated.
He sounds like one hell of a good man. It not only takes a lot of courage to go into a burning building to try to save someone, but it takes a lot of love and passion to help. I don't know if you're religious or not, but this comes to mind: "There is no greater love than he who lays his life down for his friends" John 15:13
Our neighbors had a dehumidifier fire a couple years ago and they were home when it happened. They were sill out of there house for over 6 months getting it repaired.
The compressor looked intact @2:40. But the fan motor is slightly melted on the right side, from possible electrical arcing.
Or, the device was put too close to the bed and the bedding covered up a vent of some sort and it overheated
I remember about 20+ years ago living on a hill where I was able to see inside a lady's kitchen she was cooking and had a massive flame in her frying pan unfortunately she wasn't able to put a lid on it or at least try to control it. That massive flame ate her curtains and it only took 3-5 minutes for the whole house to be engulfed.
Should invest in smoke alarm instead of a camera 😂😂😂
Try reading the rest of the comments. It had smoke detectors, the video was sped up, so the video didn't pick up the detectors.
But they have no smoke/fire alarms?
I'm glad that nobody was in the house when it caught fire
Is this the full video, where ist the rest?
WOW! So fast!
Really wish that we started building FIRE PROOF HOUSES
"I don't need no fire smoke detector."
This scares the crap out of me. I have been through 2 fires now. Once in a house fire in Feb. 18, 2018 where the stove cut on super early that Sunday morning. Our roommate was supposed to have clinicals for school and for some reason decided to not go in that day the night before. So at 10am that morning he busted in all of our rooms and said "get up the house is on fire!" Now keep in mind the fire started in the kitchen all the way in the back of the house on the left hand side and our room was in the front right so by the time we were woke up and sat up the smoke was already almost touching our bed. The second fire was at 2am Saturday morning on October 17, 2020 and it was in an apt. The lady who lived on the other side of our master bedroom wall is where the fire started. I had a 10 month old at the time (she just turned 3 in December), in her crib up against that wall. When I tell you NO ONES smoke detectors went off. The saving grace in the whole situation was God. God sent someone home from work that morning and he happened to go down our road and see the fire and realized no one was coming out. That's bc everyone was asleep and no ones smoke detectors were going off. So imagine being woke up by the sounds of police/fire department beating down your door. We had moved in with my father bc we (me and daddy) had lost our jobs bc of COVID during this time. So my father was the one to answer the door when all hell was breaking loose outside. I didn't have to hear a word they said. I just knew when he opened the door and I saw the police & fire department, heard sirens and saw red/blue lights what was going on. I hauled ass to the bedroom and screamed to my bf to get up that the apt somewhere was on fire. I grabbed my daughter and her little comfort blanket and her binky. Her daddy grabbed the car keys and my father grabbed my almost 9yr old cat Braveheart and we took off. We lost everything to that fire. The other crazy thing about both situations is my father has retired from the fire department in 2006 and this was the first time he had ever been on the opposite side of a fire. It is so scary when you have been through multiples.
The smoke alarms probably didn't go off because you only have ionization alarms, which only detect fast moving fires and are cheaper so they're usually the ones installed in houses. If you want it to detect smoldering fires, which are the ones that usually happen when you're sleeping, you need a photoelectric smoke detector. It's strange that your firefighter father wouldn't know this or know how important it is to have both types installed.
@@Jane-yg3vz He does/did know that. Unfortunately the apt complex that we lived in in the 2nd fire wouldn't allow us to change them out. Not just that but not even a week before the fire happened the Aholes that ran the complex decided not to call any electricians after what I'm about to say. Like I said not even a week before the fire the guy who lived above us was washing clothes when he left. The hose that runs into the wall (which we later found out) was to short therefore while it was running it rattled out of the wall and water flooded his upstairs apt. Therefore water came flooding down into our apt. Water was coming out of the hallway lights, the kitchen lights, running down the walls, coming out of wall, etc. This was during COVID so it wasn't like we had much of a choice to just up an moved especially having to pay a boat load of $ just to get out of the lease. That's when the fire happened not even a week later. It happened in the lady's house down stairs on the other side of our master bedroom wall. So instead of assuming you know what my father knows/doesn't know how about asking instead of assuming. Also the 1st fire we went through which was in a house (the one in 2018) was going off when we were woke by our roommate at the time. The ones in the apt complex were the ones (in everyone's apt) not going off.
My ex was a survivor of a house fire. A candle didnt fully go out and his living room caught fire while he and his new girlfriend were sleeping. The fire alarms did not go off. Instead they were awoken by the bedroom door randomly opening and she noticed a light coming from the living room so he went to go check and saw the fire.
He was able to make it out but she panicked and ran back into his bedroom. He ran back in to save her but unfortunately couldn't because the ceiling had collapsed and it was pitch black inside.
Its not right that they're selling cheap fire alarms. I can't tell you how many stories ive read about peoples fire alarms not going off despite having batteries in them. These are peoples lives that are at stake! All fire alarms should be these newer ones
I can't say it enough: fire alarms, fire alarms, fire alarms.
Oh crap crazy
My house caught fire 2 years ago and it's an old house 110 years old it was electrical. The smoke was the first sign and the fd came and checked and couldn't find anything so they left and about 45 minutes later the smoke was really going and I called them back this time they found fire and put it out. I was very very blessed. It only damaged one wall about 3x3 ft hole and the smoke of course was everywhere all my cats dog and chinchilla were safe. The red cross was wonderful they put me and my dog and my chinchilla up in a hotel because we lost power. The cats were all ok with food and water and warm cubby holes. God bless the red cross and my church
In 2019 my mother's house caught fire [also electrical & in the fabric of the building]The house had been rewired 8 years before with a modern RCD fuse box.Fuses are supposed to blow/trip before electrical current overload causes cables to overheat & set fire to buildings.Why do electrical fires of this kind develop in modern wiring systems when they are not supposed to?I don't understand this at all.
@@edwardnowill4408 strange. I hope no one was injured
Fire alarm? Anywhere?
Did the fire snuff itself out?
Judging by how burned the comforter on the bed is, the humidifier was probably next to it, overheated, and caught the comforter on fire. Since most modern fabrics and furniture have fire resistant chemicals on them, that's probably why it didnt spread. Or the device burned till it failed and once the heat source was lost, the fire put itself out.
i hope you guys are already and are recovering from this (if you haven't already)
how its extinguished? didnt see anyone
It's scarier than horror movies
The house is haunted I swear I feel a presence. Very eery video.
Did they not have working smoke detectors?
How did the fire start
how did the fire start?
Interesting for me, what was the cause of the fire in this case?
Looks like a small air conditioning unit.
It was a dehumidifier
No smoke alarms? Hmmmm. That's crazy!
In Germany it is mandatory to install a smoke detector in every apartment and house. Since then, many people have been saved or the fire extinguished in time before everything burns.
Frustrating that there’s not a single fire alarm in this modern structure
Did you read the description?
There are but the video is sped up so you don't hear them.
Smoke alarms ?
What is that at the end? I can’t tell.
Never heard a smoke alarm/detector go off... how scary
video is from a security camera so no sound.
I paused the video so the house wouldn’t burn phew it’s hard work being a hero 🥹😮💨
No smoke alarms going off?! WTH!!! Thankfully no one was home and got hurt.
Did they live??
What started it?
I didn't realise how important it would be to get " low" I wonder how much more of a chance people would have instead of panicking and tying to battle through the thick poisones smoke? The bottom half of the room is almost smoke free
At the fire department, they say "Fire is black." which means that smoke is often the main danger. Here in Germany, smoke detectors are mandatory for this reason.
Remember boys and girls, a fire doubles in size EVERY 30 SECONDS.
Good thing the smoke alarms work
Now people can see what ff's go into. Usually, the black smoke is lower to the ground.
Why did it stop? Who put it out?
My mum used to take the batteries out of the smoke alarms because it annoyed her when they were set off accidentally. Had a house fire eventually & if hadn't been up at 5 am we might have all perished! I have no problem with smoke alarms as an adult I make sure they are working in my house!
As a gamer who sometimes roleplays as a firefighter, it would be a scarier situation if people were on the house.
No Smoke detectors and all the doors left Open. DON'T GIVE FIRE A CHANCE, folks..!
What started this fire?
Fire alarm hello where are you? Why didn't it go off??
Hpise fore have to be one of the greatest personal tragedy that one can face even if thier is no lose of life. Fore destroys almost everything and the smoke does the rest. So so sad.
this just goes to show just how fast a fire can really spread and all the more reason that firemen such as myself wear SCBA's in these instances
I’m not sure but did the 🔥 just somehow put out itself or somebody did 🧐🤔 there’s a part (1:35) when🔥 became bigger, dark smoke formed as if a huge dark cloud appeared & surrounded the whole living hall😅 hope all are safe (if someone is in the house) 🙏🏼
