Cupertino Family Escapes Unharmed After Fire Breaks Out in Garage

Firefighters in Cupertino on Sunday knocked down a garage fire before it could spread to the rest of a home, a fire official said.

The blaze broke out at a single-family home around 4:40 a.m. along Craig Court, Acting Santa Clara County Fire Department Battalion Chief Mark Shumate said.

A neighbor noticed the flames and knocked on the family's door, allowing two adults and three children to escape unharmed, Shumate said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, Shumate said.
