A Winlock household is without a home after an overnight fire but working smoke detectors awoke the two adults and two small children who escaped without injury, according to Lewis County Fire District 15.
Four fire departments responded just after 1:30 a.m. to the double-wide mobile home on the 100 block of Evergreen Lane just north of town, according to Assistant Chief Kevin Anderson.
Crews found heavy fire inside the attached garage which had spread into the home itself, according to Anderson.
The blaze was under control just before 3 a.m. but had already caused extensive damage to the structure and its contents, Anderson said in a news release.
Firefighters rescued an adult dog, which is in good condition, he stated.
The cause is under investigation and the Red Cross is assisting to provide the family with temporary shelter.
The little ones are both under two years old, according to Anderson.
