FAST FACTS:
The fire broke out just before 3am Saturday on Hallshire, just off Kirby Parkway.
When firefighters got to the home on Hallshire there was little they could do to save it.
The flames were so intense they destroyed the house and a car in the driveway.
The same thing nearly happened to a house next door.
"It started reaching the other house," said Osmar.
Osmar says a car alarm woke him up Saturday morning.
He thought someone was breaking into a vehicle, but when he looked outside his window he saw his neighbors house across the street was on fire.
"I just saw just the little fire and then I woke everybody up and they were shocked and then I called the police and I could barely talk and passed it to a man," said Osmar.
Witnesses say the fire spread quickly and eventually to the house to the right of it.
No one was home when the fire broke out in the first house. Neighbors were able to wake up two people inside the home next to it and get them out before firefighters arrived.
"I was scared," said Osmar.
Witnesses say the fire actually caused the tires on this car to explode and they thought for sure both homes would be destroyed .
"The whole house could reach the trees. The fire would go that high," said Osmar.
A couple hours after the fire started firefighters were still busy mopping up all the hot spots.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
