Two homes were damaged in Rowlett Friday morning after a fire on Magnolia Lane.
Rowlett Battalion Chief Sean Fay said the first calls came in around 5:10 a.m. when a passerby saw flames at a home on the 6400 block of Magnolia Lane.
Firefighters arrived to heavy flames shooting through the roof, Fay said.
Carolyn Doughty lives inside the home and said knocks on her door woke her up. She went outside and saw her house fully engulfed, she said.
The fire spread to the home next door, but was contained to a side wall and part of the garage.
Doughty's roof collapsed on top of a car and motorcycle as well.
"All I walked out with was these glasses, my shoes, my Bible and my sense of humor," Doughty said. "At least I'm not in the burn unit."
