Rhoads says the homeowner, Amanda Howard, was cooking something and caught a trash can on fire. When she attempted to take the trash can to the porch, the fire spread to the ceiling and in just a couple of minutes was at the roofline of the house.
When Firefighters arrived just four minutes later, heavy smoke was bellowing from the home.
The Washington Fire Department was on the scene for approximately two hours.
