Shooting of Transformers 4 is going great with Wahlberg and the new cast. We are having a great time in Texas.
I’m reading how the news makes everything more dramatic than real life. I guess the truth was just too unexciting. Yes there was a small smoldering fire at a house and no, no one was injured during the fire. And no, no one “just narrowly escaped” as the news dramatically states. A crew member though twisted his ankle after falling in a gopher hole on the ranch.
The fire was put out in a brief 15 minutes by a great fire crew on set. It was an attic fire and cause is unknown. No we were not shooting in the attic, we were shooting outside on the ranch.

The fire broke out in the attic of a 100 year old farm house, and there were some reports that it might have been result of pyrotechnics that were been used during filming. The fire was quickly controlled and only one injury was reported. Apparently some of the various entertainment websites have really been blowing this fire out of proportion, enough so that director Michael Bay has issued the following statement regarding the fire:Shooting of Transformers 4 is going great with Wahlberg and the new cast. We are having a great time in Texas.
