Ray and her family were home when the fire started around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. They escaped without injuries, according to WTEN.
“Rachael, her husband John and their dog Bella are safe. The house is unfortunately damaged and we don’t yet know to what extent,” a spokesperson for Ray said in a statement.
A witness told The Sun Community News that it appeared to start as a chimney fire and grew shooting flames 70 feet into the night sky.
