House Fire on Congress street Portland, Maine

The Great Clarence Hale Mansion Fire of 2009!
I was sitting in my friend Joes house, the Clarence Hale Mansion on Congress street in Portland, Maine when we heard a knock on the door. Its a stranger yelling YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE so I instantly grabbed my digital camera and starting taking video and pics. Thankfully the fire was caught before it could spread to be anything big. It was started when the third floor neighbor was throwing cigarettes out of the window and they were landing on the roof, it didn't help we were in a heat wave, a whole week of 90+ degree days. This video is about a half hour or so after evacuating the house and the fire crews were just about done putting out the fire. The video starts with my friend Justin Watts.
