Crewmembers were shooting an action scene involving a helicopter for A Good Day to Die Hard, which saw a building set ablaze for the sequence.

No one was injured in the blaze, which was soon extinguished, and none of the film’s main stars, including Bruce Willis and Patrick Stewart, were onset at the time of the incident.
A statement released by 20th Century Fox bosses reads: “There was a fire on the set of A Good Day to Die Hard in Hungary. No one was injured by the flames, which occurred during a pyrotechnics stunt just after midnight on Thursday (05Jul12), and were contained a short while later.
