That's not any kind of electrical fire. Those are chemical drums in a print shop, those stacks are rolls of paper outside of the room. (been in the printing trade for 15 yrs. and recognize that environment) That was a chemical fire most likely started by an static electric spark. The reason I say that is because any kind of electrical blast will start off with a ton of sparks, of which there isn't any in this video.

@harliqwyne -The worst electrical explosions do not always start with sparks,if a live feed goes to ground,it is much the same as what you see in the video.If the coil that this guy installed energized onto a dead short,this could also happen.I can't say I know the particulars of this situation,but you are wrong about the sparks.

scare? he looks dead to me, you don't see him walking away.

[TheBresett]

caused by the change in pressure when opening that drum

@JetMechMA It CAN'T be an electrical fire, it obviously shows the flames at floor level where heavier than air vapors would be. Typical of a flammable liquid like gasoline.

it looks like he started it the flames go up and he gives no reaction of surprise you would think he would freak out or at least jump if it was an accident

@JetMechMA - actually I'm wrong I don't have a clue what happened because of the crappy video but maybe something with static electricity or something that was metallics nearby was energized or had a load of negative charge.. I'm not sure if he was braindead enough to be smoking a cig in there but who knows what caused this.. video is so poor I cannot even make out electric wiring
