The two men were inside of the house when it went up in flames. One of the men is 78-years-old and the other is 27-years-old. Both made it out of the home safely and uninjured, firefighters said.

The homeowner also has four dogs who may be missing, as firefighters said they were not inside of the home when the fire broke out.
