'Huge flames': Neighbor's call to 911 reporting blaze in trash can at Ryan Seacrest's home released
A neighbor reported seeing 'huge flames' on Ryan Seacrest's property when they called 911 last month to report a fire.
The incident at the radio and TV personality's $50 million residence was fortunately confined to a trash can and some nearby shrubbery.
The audio from the emergency call was published by TMZ.com Tuesday, a little over two weeks since the blaze.

A second call to 911 from someone at the home was also published online, telling the dispatcher the fire was getting close to trees.
Two days later, on February 21, Seacrest, 42, told his On Air With Ryan Seacrest listeners that 'my worst nightmare happened.
he added he thought the substantial rain in Los Angeles that night caused an electrical box near his driveway to 'pop' and in turn, ignite a fire in a trash can.
Ryan told his listeners: 'You're so grateful no one is hurt. You're so grateful you're there to find it.'

The former American Idol host said he would have had worse damage if he hadn't moved his car earlier in the day to a spot further away from the trash can that caught on fire.
He shared a picture of the damage and wrote: 'Fire last night at the house- thank God everyone is OK. Thanks again @beverlyhillsfirefighters.'
After the fire was put out, the star thanked each of the firefighters and gifted them with a bottle of wine.
Ryan purchased the Beverly Hills mansion in 2012 from Ellen DeGeneres for $49 million, according to TMZ.
The home sits on almost three acres and is 9,200 square feet.
In December, Ryan was trapped in an elevator in New York City - right before he hosted Dick Clark's New Year's Rocking' Eve; he was rescued by the FDNY.
