PLYMOUTH, Minn. - A family escaped a two-alarm house fire in Plymouth on Sunday evening.
According to the Plymouth Fire Department, crews were called to a structure fire on the 5100 block of Upland Lane North at about 6:15 p.m. Sunday. When crews arrived, the garage was fully involved in flames and the fire was spreading to the house.
Fire officials say because the house was large and access was difficult due to the driveway, they called a second alarm and six other departments assisted.
Officials say fire alarms alerted the occupants and they got out safely. The cause is under investigation but the fire is not believed to be suspicious.
The garage and a portion of the house sustained fire damage, and there was smoke damage throughout most of the rest of the home.
