Dep. Chief Keith Newman said firefighters responded to the house after getting a report of a house fire at 3:08 a.m. when a woman woke up, smelled smoke and her son went outside and saw the house was burning.
When they arrived, the found a fire had started outside of the house and "burned through to the inside a little bit," Newman said.
The suspicious fire is under investigation. Six people were inside the house when the fire started but nobody was hurt and there was a "minimal amount of damage" to the house, Newman said.
Investigators learned that a woman living at the house woke up smelling smoke. One of her sons went outside and discovered the burning.
