The residents of the home who were inside heard an explosion from the garage and escaped uninjured with their dog, fire Capt. Peter Caponio said.
Caponio said the fire spread to a large tree, but crews were able to keep the fire from spreading to other structures.
Three residents are left without a home as a result of the blaze, which also destroyed two cars. The American Red Cross will be helping the three people, Caponio said.
Firefighters had the fire under control by 6:14 p.m., Caponio said.
