VIDEO: A Valley couple is displaced after a fire significantly damaged their home Wednesday morning.
“It’s everything. This is our little mansion, our little kingdom," Wayne Berg said.
Wayne and Linda Berg have lived in their home near 32nd Street and McDowell Road for the past 30 years.
“It was crazy. Honest to God. I never thought this would happen to us and it did," Wayne Berg said.
A fire started in their backyard, charring debris and plants before making its way inside.
“It was filled with smoke so fast. It burned all the curtains and then I got down low and I went looking for my wife," Berg said.
Neighbors watched from outside as the fire took over the house.
“The flames were bright red," John Mariscal said. "They were really high. They were higher than the roof.”
