According to the Colorado City Fire Department, they received a call for back-up to the neighboring city of Loraine just after 8 a.m. Saturday.

The home was on a county road in the middle of cotton field, about one mile from I-20.

It took 35 firefighters to combat the flames and they were able to get it under control in about an hour and a half.

No clue at this point as to what caused the fire.

The house is destroyed, but the 11,13, and 17-year-old, as well as their parents got out safely.

The Colorado City Fire Department is currently accepting donations for the family.
