Two people were driving in the area when they saw the smoke coming from a home and started on knocking neighbors' doors and called for help.

"When they opened the big door, a lot of black smoke kept coming," Keymari Shoulders said.

"We had called the fire department and they responded quick and the only thing we did was knock on the neighbors' door saying they could move their cars so it wouldn't cause a bigger fire," Deshawn Lomax said.

No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
