A firefighter who is described as taking a day off after weeks fighting summer wildfires checks CCTV footage of his own home remotely and then discovers that his house is on fire, according to reports.
The incident is reported to involve Phil Morris, who while out selling his wife’s car uses external CCTV connected to his property to confirm something is wrong. The accounts describe the fire as devastating and note that it comes after his prior firefighting duties during the summer wildfire season.
Across the available reporting, the focus remains on the personal circumstances of the firefighter and the use of CCTV to identify trouble at his home while he is away. However, the sources provided do not include consistent additional details such as the exact location, cause of the blaze, timing, damage estimate, or whether anyone else was affected.
