Press release:

Four people were able to escape safely from their home after their detached garage caught fire July 2 in the 2600 block of South 142nd Street.

The fire, first reported at 9:57 a.m., was quickly extinguished by firefighters from SeaTac, North Highline, and Tukwila before it could spread to the house.

Firefighters had to use extra caution while fighting the fire after the electrical power line to the house burned through and fell to the ground. The live wire was eventually disconnected by Seattle City Light.

Red Cross has been called in to assist the two adults and two children who live in the house.

The fire is currently under investigation and there is no damage estimate.
