No suspects are in custody or have been identified as police determine whether a crime took place. Hercules said the incident will be considered a crime scene until that element is ruled out.
Video sent to FOX 13 News shows a man, identified as 20-year-old Asher Nelson, jumping from his car and rushing towards the house, jumping a fence, to help someone who was seen escaping the house fire.
Nelson is being treated for smoke inhalation at the hospital, according to his family.
Significant damage could be seen on the upper level of the house.
A neighbor told FOX 13 News that she heard a large explosion while she was eating breakfast, but believed it was simply an ordnance demolition that had been taking place in recent weeks.
