    Two familes have lost their homes after a massive 2-alarm blaze in Evergreen Thursday evening.
    Fire crews were called just before 10pm to the 100 block of Everoak Gardens southwest.
    Three homes were ablaze.
    Fire spokesman Jeff Budai says investigators are still trying to pinpoint the fire's origin and are not sure how it started.... though high winds appear to be a factor.
    There is no damage estimate but Budai says the homes are almost completely destroyed.
    Everyone inside the homes were able to make it out safely.
    30 firefighters battled the blaze.
