SHAES says a passerby reported a gazebo close to the home caught fire, which spread to the back of the home. Downed power lines and at least one burning propane tank made the situation even more dangerous for firefighters on scene.

No one was hurt and everyone inside was safely evacuated. Most of the damage was contained to the rear exterior of the home.
