Fire!!

This photo is a closer view of the extent of the damage to the back of the house. This is where the fire is believed to have started.

Apparently, the house had not yet caught fire when the good Samaritan neighbors woke up the residents. The owner of the house had time to call 9-1-1 himself while getting his family out of the house. However, the flames grew very quickly and soon engulfed the back of his house and the garage. One of the items that was key to the spread of the blaze was a propane gas grill stored in the corner of the yard where the fire started.
