The Brandon Volunteer Fire Department was first on the scene to a house fire on Ashton Trail in the Bluff Neighborhood between Brandon and Sioux Falls. Officials say everyone safely evacuated from the home after a charcoal barbecue got out of control, spreading the flames to the rest of the home.

Neighbors say the homeowners had just moved into the home and had seeded the yard earlier in the day. The home was fully engulfed and the garage roof caved in by 7:30 PM on Friday June 10, 2016.

The Go Fund Me page set up to raise donations for the family says the Velgersdyk family lost everything this evening when their house caught on fire. They are a young family with a 9 month old baby.
