When firefighters arrived, they found flames coming from the attic. Crews said they verified that everyone who was inside had gotten out safely.

At that point, fire investigators said the fire ran the length of the home and they had to pull the crews out and go on the defensive with the fire. 

Investigators believe the fire started outside the home and then moved inside. What caused the fire is being investigated. 

The two people living in the home have been displaced.
