Neighbors said that it appeared that the fire began in the car and spread to the house, located in the 2300 block of Wellborn Hills Place.
"I heard like a pop, like an explosion so I looked and seen like the smoke…and the fire just erupted. Not even two minutes the later, the garage was engulfed in flames," said Jordan Bradley.
