Blair Harding, Neighbor: "I heard a blow and when it blew up I looked down this way. Smoke was everywhere. I came running down the circle, alerted the people in the house that they had a fire, and then we got out the hose and we started to keep everything cool around the car."

Crews immediately put the fire out but not before it destroyed the roof the carport.
