“We woke up at one in the morning and I was like, ‘The fire alarm is going off,’” Seabert said. “He (Boyce) was like, ‘It’ll turn off eventually.’ Then I looked out the back window and I was like, ‘No it’s not! It is on fire!’”
The couple said they were lucky to be woken up and get out of the home quickly.
