The LaGrange Fire Department responded to the call at 2:50 a.m. Monday to the home in the 300 block of Revis Street. Deputy Fire Chief Brant said the fire flashed on the firefighters, creating a dangerous situation.

"The temperatures reached well above 1200 degrees inside the home," Deputy Chief Brant said. "It got so hot, the fire hose melted in two leaving the crews trapped inside with no water."

Brant said two people were inside the home when the fire started but they were able to get out.
