A family is without a home tonight after a fire started in their home Sunday afternoon.

Boulder Creek Fire said they were able to control the fire, but not before flames already ripped through much of the home.

The fire at Greenvale and Blair roads left the family devastated, including a young boy who saw some of his favorite belongings burned in the fire.
