The home on Benson near Sumpter caught fire around 9pm. Fire officials believe it started after a water heater inside the home exploded.
The two people inside were able to escape before the flames took over. "I have a flashlight I keep by my bed," said resident Patricia Bullock. "I shined the light. You couldn't see nothing but smoke."
The home sustained only minor damage.
