Three firefighters were taken to the hospital with heat-related emergencies. They're expected to recover.
The homeowner, James Beasley, said he and his wife were headed home when they received a call from their home security alarm company. The company claimed there was a burglary, and the Beasleys told the company to send the police. The Beasleys arrived at their home only to learn it was not a burglary -- but a fire.
James Beasley said they had moved into the house about three months ago. They recently moved from a house that flooded last year.
We're told the family has insurance on the home.
No one was hurt.
