"I was thinking that somebody hit somebody because sometimes this road is very tough, maybe a car accident," said Mahbubul Hoque.
"So I came out, but my house totally shaked," Hoque added. "I came out in the back, saw the fire right away, and it was a small fire, but then in a few seconds, it was a disaster."
Crews managed to quickly bring the flames under control, with only minor damage to the home and none to neighbouring residents.
