SANTA ROSA -- Santa Rosa firefighters were working to put out a house fire that destroyed a garage, displaced two people, and sent smoke drifting across northern Santa Rosa Tuesday afternoon.

The Santa Rosa Fire Department shared a video of firefighters attacking the flames at the home on Fenwick Dr.

Fire officials said units were dispatched at 1:36 p.m. They are still investigating the cause of the blaze but said they believe it started as a battery fire in the garage.

Both residents were able to get out of the house uninjured.

The home has been red-tagged, so the residents will need to find another place to stay.
