The video shows an object fly out of a window of the burning house and travel a distance of several yards to strike the fire truck near the camera.

An amused witness retrieves the object from the ground and holds it up to the dashboard camera, revealing it to be a Lysol aerosol can that apparently burst in the fire and propelled itself out of the house.
