Jachles said shutters were still up from Hurricane Matthew and people were inside the home when the fire somehow started in the garage.

No injuries were reported.

Jachles said the fire was caused by the homeowners overstuffing the dryer with clothes.

The rest of the house did not sustain significant damage.
