A family of four was able to escape without injuries, including a 9 year-old and a 4 year-old, according to Chalybeate Fire Chief Daniel Johnson.

Firefighters became frustrated soon after arriving when they ran out of water, having to wait until back up fire units could respond. Fire hydrants are limited in the area.

Homes on each side of the involved home were also damaged as siding melted off the buildings.
