Video showed the flames that devoured the structure, and captured how one resident tried to assist firefighters with a garden hose as the fire burned out of control.
That resident, Jose Patalano, said his family was asleep when his wife woke him up, and they were able to escape with their two children.

"I was afraid, because one of my dogs was missing, and he was in the room and I couldn't get in because there was so much smoke," he said, while describing how he covered his mouth and knocked an obstacle over. "I don't know how he got out. We're good, we're all safe."
Despite steady rainfall, heavy smoke and flames consumed the home.

"Destroyed, everything. I mean, ceilings, walls, everything. Not everything burned, but damaged because of the fire and the smoke and all that," Patalano said.
He was grateful his family and their pets could get out in time.
"It's only a house. I'll fix it," he said. Then in Spanish, "I hope insurance covers something!"
After firefighters knocked out the blaze, Patalano returned to see if he could salvage anything from the debris.
"It's a different house, it's not my house anymore, everything's black all over. I just tried to reach a few clothes for my kids," he said.
That, he said, was the hardest part.
"My kids, it kills me seeing my kid crying, 'It's my house, my room, my everything,'" Patalano said.
A cause of the fire is not yet known. The family believes it started in a spare bedroom, but are not sure how.
For now, they will be staying with relatives.
