before firefighters arrived a car in the garage of the home exploded
and sent a plume of fire reaching the tops of trees some sixty feet
above the home. The family was at home at the time the fire was
discovered and was able to escape injury along with their 7-week-old
newborn child.The cause of the fire is unknown at this time as firefighters continue to battle the blaze at press time.
