Upon arrival, firefighters noticed flames coming from the back of the house.

SAFD said they pulled a water line to the rear of the home to knock down the flames.

Two teenagers escaped from the home as the flames started, according to SAFD.

Investigators believe the fire might have started in a room toward the back of the house after an A/C unit malfunctioned.  

SAFD shared that the home is not livable since smoke damaged it. Some of the roofs had to be removed to ensure flames were extinguished.

No injuries were reported.
