"I woke up to my son screaming get out of the house mom there's a fire! I assumed it was something just very small but it erupted into something very big very quickly," homeowner Annie said.
"The devastation that I see in my house is unbelievable. Of course it's the memories like the children's Valentines and things like that that I'll miss the most. but we're safe and we've got a future as long as we're okay," she continued.
The home is a total loss.
