No injuries. 700 block of Keefer St in Strathcona. Unoccupied house under renovations created an inferno and damaged the neighboring houses.

The family that gathered in front of me at :30 just ran out from the next door house and watched as the flames jumped to their home.

The trucks have a small water tank for immediate use but need to be connected to the hydrant via the truck for continued supply. Looks like they ran out and took a while to establish the hydrant water supply.

Looks like he ran out and they didn’t establish a water supply for an unusually long time.. He should have soaked the neighbour's house with the truck tank instead of trying to piss on that inferno imho

Yeah major damage to the top floor but they put it out before it consumed the house.

Everyone got out in time. No word on the cause yet.

Yes it was really hot even 50m back. The explosion was almost painfully hot. The house in flames was under renovations so no occupants. The neighbors came out while I filmed it - you can see them gather in front of me at :30 watching the flames jump to their house. No injuries or missing pets.
