One neighbor we spoke with next door says she saw the flames around 3:00 am and says she was afraid it was going to spread.
“A neighbor down the street came and knocked on our door and told us there was a fire next door and we came outside, I mean the whole house was completely engulfed. I mean we were scared we didn’t know what had happened or how it happened,” said Joann Crews.
