Officials confirmed that everybody was evacuated, but that the house is "a total loss."

MDFR personnel were at the scene going through the rubble left behind and helping to remove a car that appeared to have been destroyed in the fire.

It remains unclear how many people were here at the time of the fire, but property records show it's a four-bedroom home.

While the cause of the fire remains under investigation, fire personnel could be seen speaking with residents and showing them what looked like a lithium-ion battery.
