Greg Miller says he was driving to work around 4 a.m. Thursday when he saw flames erupting between two homes on James Street in Timmins.
He took two videos of the blaze and in one, you can hear crackling noises and see sparks flying.
Kelsey St. Jean posted a video on social media which appears to show a fire starting next to a camper parked in front of a home seen in Miller’s video.
Sarah Lee told CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca the neighbours’ enclosed electric scooter vehicle caught fire causing damage to her father’s family home.
"It was quite the shock as it’s been in our family since 1972," Lee said.
Lee said her dad’s home is used as a rental.

She said the neighbours all made it out OK and the tenants were not home the night of the fire.
Thursday afternoon, St. Jean confirmed on social media that they are OK and the house has some outside and smoke damage.
A photo of the aftermath posted by St. Jean shows two homes and a motorhome damaged.
On Sunday, St. Jean made a post on social media stating they are looking to trade a 2017 diesel Chevy Cruze for a "decent camper or motor home."
"Need a place to stay and I don’t need the car," the post said.
CTV News contacted the Timmins fire department and is awaiting a response.
