New information tonight on an early morning fire that completely destroyed a Rockford Township home.

Firefighters tell us when the owner of this house woke up around four, he walked out his bedroom door and saw his entire porch in flames. He doubled back and jumped out of his bedroom window. He's not injured but there's not much left of his home.

Our 23 News Photographer Chris Norman was on the scene at Silvercreek Road at 4 am and caught these flames on tape.

Investigators still don't know what sparked the blaze.
