This is from a fire around 11:30 Monday morning in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. A pickup truck with no one in it traveled from an adjacent proprty and slammed into the house, apparently hitting propane tanks. The three people in the home escaped unharmed. Philip A. Holmes, the narrator on the video, wrote the following for SunGazette.com about the fire:

For the first 30 minutes, firefighters advanced hoses into the house in an attempt to contain the fire. However shortly before noon, all crews were ordered out of the home because it was getting too dangerous.

“The floors were starting to give way. There was fire in the attic, but we couldn’t get to it. We started to lose the roof,” (Nippenose Valley Fire Chief Dean) Miller explained.
