Firefighters say the original 911 call came in as a car fire in the garage. The call was later upgraded to a house fire as flames quickly spread from the garage to the rest of the home.

Cellphone video from the scene shows large flames shooting out of the house as crews worked to put out the fire.

Two people were found outside the home when firefighters arrived. Both were transported to the hospital, but their ages and conditions have not been released.
