In what is apparently an unfortunate tradition of accidents on the sets of live action Transformers films, The Transformers Live Action Movie Blog updated today with ABC news affiliate KVUE‘s report on a fire breaking out on the set of Transformers 4. The report states that a fire broke out on set and was a “controlled fire”. One person was injured with a broken ankle. TMZ later reported with an update stating:
A fire broke out on the Texas set of “Transformers 4″… causing major damage to a 100-year-old home… and officials believe it may have been caused by movie pyrotechnics.A rep for the Pflugerville Fire Department tells us … the fire started in the attic … but emergency responders sprung into action and were able to extinguish the blaze before it had a chance to damage the rest of the home.
Unfortunately, the FD says the attic suffered “substantial damage.” The rep says, “There was one injury to a civilian who was transported to the hospital by Austin Travis County EMS. We have no other information on this person or their injury.” We’re told… officials believe burning embers from pyrotechnics may have caused the blaze, but they’re not sure at this point.
So far, the fire is being ruled as “accidental.” The FD says the home has been released back to the homeowner
Hopefully this will be the only accident and injury for the remainder of the filming! Click on the title bar to discuss!

He should work the fire into the film like that director in 'Hoist goes Hollywood' does when accidents happens.

Does this mean after the movie people paid to use this as a location they set it on fire then were like hey guys we burnt your house a little bit now we are done with this property for our film.
I wonder if that's part of the waiver when they use a location for filming, probably won't even fix any of the damage.

If Bay filmed a movie in my house, I would kind of expect a problem lol

Didn't sleep last night.
Was afraid of waking up to the front page saying, "More Accidents, Transformers 4 is Cancelled".

I'm glad it was only a small controlled fire, and not a raging one. I feel bad for the injured civilian, but I'm glad no one else was severely injured.

Bay was quoted as saying :"Filming will progress as planned. This was an unfortunate accident caused by a lack of focus by one of our actors, Murray Splodesalot, he has been asked to leave the production. Murray's replacement is being cast as we speak."
A crew member was then overheard reminding Michael that explosions are not characters even if you give them names. Bay was heard to say "Shut up! "

If Sentinel was the last firetruck on earth, I'd rather have a 200 year old house burn down than to let that bastard live for what he did to Ironhide. He didn't just kill him, he shot him in the back. He betrayed himself

It's Primus telling Michael Bay not to make these shitty movies any more!
The Bumblebee crash in the filming of DotM wasn't enough! This is the end!!!

I don't want to see the film being cancelled because of some accidents.

Hopefully this is the only accident in this film. I hate hearing about filming mishaps.
