A family was able to escape a house-destroying fire Sunday night in Walton County.

According to Walton County Fire Rescue, crews were called to a home on the 2300 block of Bobway Trail in unincorporated Walton County around 11 p.m. on Sunday.

By the time they arrived on the scene, officials say the home was "fully engulfed in flames."

The fire had luckily been discovered by a family member when they saw a flickering light outside the home. They quickly alerted the rest of the family, and all four people were able to escape the blaze.

The home was a total loss and displaced two adults and two children.

Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
