VIDEO: A Douglasville family is in need of help after a fire destroyed their home.
Naomi Ukenedo was out running errands for her husband's surprise birthday party when she got a terrifying phone call from one of her children. "She said, ‘Mother, come, there's fire in the house.’ She was screaming so loud," she said.
Her children said they saw smoke, heard the fire alarm go off, and then felt an explosion.
Naomi Ukenedo said three kids were able to get out just in time.
"The second explosion threw them out of the house," she said.
When she got to the family's Douglasville home, firefighters were already there and the house was engulfed in flames.
"You're watching everything you ever worked for going up in flames. I was just looking. I couldn't even cry because I didn't know what to do," Naomi Ukenedo said.
The couple's shared birthday was two days after the fire.
Only the bones of the house remain.
