Investigators said the fire started by two young children playing with a lighter.

Neighbor Russell Smith said, "It hadn't been two minutes before I was going up the street and there were flames 20 - 30 feet high."

Fifty firefighters showed up to fight the fire that engulfed two homes and four vehicles.

"The carport was on fire. It was already spreading to the trees and the trees were catching the other houses on fire,” said Smith.

No one was inside the house, but Valerie Ibarra said her grandmother and four children were home at the time.

"By the time I came out to see where the fire was coming from, the smoke was too thick," said Ibarra.

Ibarra said she rushed inside the house to get her youngest children, then helped her elderly grandmother get out and could do nothing but watch the house burn.

“Everything we had, everything we owned is in that house. We have nothing. Everything is gone," said Ibarra.

Even though everything was lost in the fire, Ibarra is glad everyone made it out of harms way.

"Luckily, thank God, we got everybody out safe. It's just the fire, the house can be rebuilt," said Ibarra.
