SPOUT SPRINGS, N.C. (WTVD) -- A large fire destroyed a lake-front home in Harnett County and displaced a family.

Five animals in the home all died in the fire, the Red Cross said.

It happened Tuesday afternoon at a home on Summer Creek Lane. The home backs up to Silver Run Lake near Carolina Lakes Golf Course.

Chopper 11 flew over the burning home as firefighters worked to extinguish the flames. The fire had already destroyed the home, razing all of it to the ground except the garage and one side of the home.
