Halloween may be a few weeks away but people in the country already seem to be in the mood for festivity.

In Glens Falls, New York, one family decorated their house with such realistic Halloween decorations that their neighbours were tricked and they even called the local fire department for help.

The Glens Falls Fire Department even posted a video of the house on their Facebook page.

The decorations were made in such a manner that it seemed that the house was on fire.

The fire department wrote on Facebook: "Tonight crews were dispatched to the area of Sanford St for a report of a confirmed structure fire. To our surprise, this was an amazing Halloween decoration. Thank you to the gracious owner for permission to post. This display will be up Friday and Saturday nights for the public's entertainment until the end of the month."
