A bomb squad and arson investigators are on the scene of the one-story unit near 160th Street and Laramie Avenue.
A neighbor told CBS 2 he was shaken awake by what he believes to be an explosion. When he went outside, he said he saw flames bursting out of the windows.
"I went outside to look at the car 'cause I thought it could have blown up and I looked on the ground and found a stick with a wick on it. I say this is dynamite," a neighbor told police.
