"It was a bunch of crackling, and it just started burning up so fast. It was, like, starting on the right side, and then all of the sudden, the whole house was on fire," said Kylee Houk, a neighbor.
The owners were in the process of moving, so no one was inside the home.
Code enforcement is working to get the house torn down because of the risk to neighboring buildings.
