BOISE, Idaho — A family was displaced after a fire sparked inside their garage early Friday morning.
The blaze was reported a little after 6 a.m. in the 2400 block of South Pond Street.
The residents of the house were inside at the time, but were all able to get out safely.
Boise Fire Battalion John Peugh said the fire appears to have started inside the home's one-car garage.
"When our first-in crews arrived on the location they had heavy fire in the garage," he said.

Although the flames did not extend much into the house, the living area has heavy smoke and water damage, according to Boise Fire. The five people who lived there are being assisted by TIP Treasure Valley, the Boise Burnout Fund and the Red Cross.
The cause of the fire is unknown, and a fire investigator is expected to arrive at the house later Friday morning.
The fire is the second house fire in Boise in less than 10 hours. Boise Fire responded to a blaze on Grunder Street Thursday night that killed two dogs and left two people without a home.
