Burned the family completely out
Hello...
Does the underlined part in the following passage make sense?
burned the family completely out but the family was somewhere else?
************
"In fact, some of Denver's bigger fires have happened on Christmas," McMahill said. " I can remember one, probably 20 some odd years ago, out around 30th and Pontiac. We had a house fully involved at 11 a.m. and it burned the family completely out. Luckily, the family was somewhere else for Christmas. But they lost everything."
