The firework ignited others. The blaze spread to a pile of yard sale items, which then engulfed the entire property.
'I lost everything, but not my faith. I got my faith,' Rebecca's father Marcos Berrios, who was doing mechanic work in the backyard when the blaze started, told KHOU.com.

Neighbor Damien Alexander said he was walking by when he spotted the fire and ran over to tell Berrios.
'Within talking to him, it was a small fire,' he told the station. 'By the time we got the family out and I called 911 the whole porch was engulfed and the house was covered in black smoke.'

Incredibly, the family-of-five and their five Chihuahuas all escaped unharmed.
But the entire three-bedroom building and two minivans parked outside were destroyed.
The family is now staying with relatives.
