According to Scott Fire Chief Chad Sonnier, the firefighters began fighting a car fire in the 600 block of Brothers Road around 12:20 in the morning.

What they observed was that a car was fully engulfed. Thankfully, everyone inside the home was able to escape, and there were no injuries.

While the side of the home was damaged by the flames, it didn't go further thanks to the quick work of the firefighters.
