Flames engulf Orangevale home's garage, video shows
An early morning house fire in Orangevale displaced a family of five Tuesday, authorities say.
Metro Fire of Sacramento crews responded to the scene along Shoshone Way just after 12:30 a.m., finding flames shooting from the garage of a home.
The flames had also spread into the main living area as well as the attic.
Firefighters say everyone who was inside, a family of three adults and two children, evacuated from the home safely after they were woken up by a smoke alarm.
"We heard the alarms go off,' said homeowner Patrick Mooney. "I ran down the hall and opened the garage door, and the fire was just bursting out of there, so I said, 'Everybody get out.'"
No injuries were reported, Metro Fire says.
Fire officials say the incident is a good reminder for residents to check their smoke detectors.
"We're about two weeks away from turning back our clocks an hour, so you wanna make sure you're replacing the batteries in your smoke detectors," said Capt. Mark Nunez with Metro Fire.
Exactly what started the fire is under investigation.
