Ontarius Tribble lived at the house and said he could hear loud booms.
"My little brother and my nephew were asleep in the living room and I was asleep in my room. They heard loud booms, and I guess they looked outside, came back and grabbed me," said Tribble.
He said his first instinct was to get everybody out of the house and then try to save their new car, which had caught fire before spreading to the house. According to Tribble, the car was not salvageable.
Tribble's sister, who came to the scene, told us she was glad her family was safe.
Crews said the residents of the house are planning to stay with family.
It is unknown how the fire started and crews are continuing to investigate.
