PHOTOS: A domestic dispute between two brothers escalated into a dangerous standoff and massive house fire Friday night in Hamilton, according to Assistant Police Chief Brian Robinson.

Robinson said police were called to a home in the 200 block of Eaton Avenue around 6:50 p.m. after a third party reported two men fighting in the front yard.

The first officer arrived approximately eight minutes later and found a man outside with blood and an injury to his arm. The man told police he had been in a physical altercation with his brother, who had been drinking.

According to Robinson, the injured man said his brother was also severely injured and had run back inside the home after the fight. Both men are believed to be in their mid-to-late 20s. By approximately 8:30 p.m., flames were visible through the windows and roof of the home.

Firefighters initially remained outside because of the reported gunfire and information from family members that several guns and a large amount of ammunition may have been inside. Police said some of the popping sounds heard after the fire began may have been ammunition igniting in the flames.

Once crews moved closer to attack the fire, police officers used ballistic shields to protect firefighters in case shots were fired from the home.
