Firefighters Race to New York Home After Realistic Halloween Decorations Are Mistaken for House Fire: VIDEO

The Glen Falls, N.Y. fire department weren't bothered by the false alarm and even commended the homeowners for their decorating abilities

Like Lewis the Jack-O-Lantern or Home Depot’s infamous 13-foot skeleton, most Halloween decorations are a harmless ode to spooky season. But one home in Glens Falls, N.Y. had such realistic decorations, that neighbors thought there was an emergency inside.

The Glens Falls Fire Department posted a video to Facebook on Sept. 30 showing a home that appears to be engulfed in orange flames. They can be seen blazing in every window of the house, and a smoke-like haze seemingly clings to the outside.

Shortly after arriving on the scene however, the fire department realized the house wasn’t actually on fire and the faux flames were part of an elaborate and shockingly realistic Halloween display. Thankfully, the fire department didn’t seem annoyed by the false alarm — in fact, they were impressed.

“Tonight crews were dispatched to the area of Sanford St. for a report of a confirmed structure fire,” the caption of the video reads. “To our surprise this was an amazing Halloween decoration, This display will be up Friday and Saturday nights for the public’s entertainment until the end of the month.”

In the comments of the Facebook video, they explained the illusion was created with two LED lights, a box fan, a silver sheet, and a fog machine, which contributed to the “haze” that neighbors had assumed to be smoke.

Some commenters were troubled by what could have happened if a real emergency had happened at the same time as the false call. However, the fire department didn’t seem particularly concerned.

"Our neighbors are so creative! Way to go John & Matt, it is so realistic!" one commenter wrote, to which the Glens Falls Fire Department responded: "They were both amazing! Thank them again, we like these calls."

Some of this year's other viral Halloween decorations are a little less scary.

An Indiana-based admirer of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift erected a pair of 12-foot skeletons that represent the singer and football star in their front yard.

An 8-foot Jack-o'-Lantern named Lewis has also gone viral on Tiktok.

The decoration, which retails for $180, is currently listed as sold out on Target's website, but social media users have been obsessed with how the pumpkin that is situated on top of a body draped in tattered black robes also speaks.

"I am not a jack-o'-lantern," the prop can be heard saying in videos shared online. "My name is Lewis."

In other statements, the decoration also says, “I’m so happy you could carve out some time to come out tonight” and “I fear nothing night or day, except a strong breeze to make me sway.”
