10 On Your Side spoke with Sermonte Jones, who owns the home next to the one on fire. “My brother called me earlier this morning. He was asleep. He rents the home from me. And he was like ‘man, there’s a fire going on next door that spread over here. The fire department just knocked on the door, they’re banging on the door like crazy.’ There’s nothing but smoke in the house he said.”
