Firefighters had their work cut out for them after a fire in the backyard of a west Valley home.

Flames spread to the house quickly near 48th Avenue and Thunderbird on Saturday afternoon and almost caught two neighboring homes on fire.

"I'm shocked that the houses are still standing, that's how loud the explosion was. I thought I'd get here and there would be splinters of the houses all over the place," neighbor Debbie Bollino said.

All four people inside the home managed to escape.

Firefighters are looking into what may have caused the explosion and sparked those flames.
