A home is destroyed after a house fire Saturday morning. Firefighters got reports of a propane tank on fire in the house. Investigators are calling the fire suspicious Saturday evening. Jenny Neuhauser was inside the home when this all happened. She says there were guys using propane for a heater. “The propane like lit the top of the thing on fire and there was a fire on top of it and it wouldn't stop,” she says. It was a frightening moment. “They were just doing their best to put it out and everything they put on top of it just kept burning right through it and by that the flames were so big that's when I bounced out of the house I'm not staying in there now,” she says. But before she left and called 911, she was trying to get people out of the home. “He was really trying hard to put that fire out and he got right up close to it and I said listen to me, get away from that thing you're going to kill yourself,” she says. People are just happy there weren't injuries. “I’m very glad everyone's okay because I thought the worst. I thought ‘oh my god, that is going to be the worst thing I've ever seen in my life is a propane tank explode and gas going on people and they all burn to death.’” Fire crews are still investigating what happened.
