PASCO COUNTY, Florida — A Pasco County family is without a home after a massive fire burned through it Saturday evening.
- Fire rips through, destroys Wesley Chapel home
- Owner says her father built home; she'd grown up in it
- No one was injured; cause under investigation
The fire started in a shed in the backyard of the home on Sonny Drive in Wesley Chapel. The flames then spread to the house and also destroyed the family's vehicles.
Neighbors watched as the flames grew. Vincent De La Cruz captured video of the fire.
"Our fear was that all of the trees in the area were going to catch fire and it was going to get really bad, really fast," De La Cruz said. "The fire was as big as the trees."
The owner says her father built the house, and she'd lived in it all her life. She lost everything in the fire, but her family got out safely without any injuries.
Fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.
