Hours after fire broke out inside a home in Valley Center, the homeowners said the only area of their home spared was the garage.
Around 1:30 a.m., a couple said they heard a cracking or popping noise coming from their living room. When they went to inspect the noise, they realized their television was on fire.
When firefighters arrived, the home at 10129 Lilac Ridge Road was fully involved. Now, the home stands gutted, with the only area untouched - the garage.
The wall to the entrance of the home has collapsed and the roof is gone.
Firefighters moved into the overhauling phase to make sure the fire is completely out.
They say the wet, cool weather helped keep the fire from spreading to any other areas or homes.
As for the residents, the couple was not injured. They are staying with family in the Bonsall/Fallbrook area.
The cause of fire is under investigation.
