I saw the smoke when I went out in my golf cart to get the newspaper. Drove over to the site and got there just after the fire dept. engines got their. Garage door was open and flames pouring out of the garage and out of the roof over the garage. Thought at first firemen could put out before spreading to whole house. However it was not to be as it took a long time to put out. Once fire broke through the roof the flame shot way up in the air for a long time. By the time the fire was out, house was entirely gone. There were very many fire engines, police cars, emergency equipment, ambulances, and looked like total gridlock in this cul-de-sac. Fire must have started in garage. House was frame with vinyl siding which added more fuel to fire. I was surprised how hard it was for the firemen to put out fire. Those fighting the fire really worked hard.
