Wray maintained her composure during the call early Saturday and told the teen to remain calm and that firefighters were en route.
Wray's daughter, son and husband were not hurt but the home was destroyed.
Her only moment of agitation came when her children starting bickering and she told them to stop.
Sheriff Travis Neeley told KTRK-TV in Houston that Wray did a "fantastic job" in calming her daughter while dispatching firefighters as her own home burned.
