Neighbor Yvonne Partin said her dogs heard the crackling of the flames and woke her up.

"I'm not one to panic. A little bit of fear (was on my mind)," Partin said. "The first thing that came to my mind was get next door and wake them up. The second thing on my mind was call 911."

Investigators are determining whether any part of the home can be saved and what caused the blaze.
