Despite the intensity, responders managed to knock it down quickly.
The extent of the damage was severe, forcing all occupants to leave. The exact number of displaced individuals remains unclear.
The American Red Cross has stepped in to assist affected families, providing emergency shelter and support. Officials did not say how long the home would remain condemned.
