A fire heavily damaged a home in the 1100 block of K Street Northeast in Auburn on Saturday night, displacing a family of five, the Valley Regional Fire Authority reported.
Neighbors called 911 to report the fire after seeing flames coming from the back of the house at approximately 7:20 p.m.
Three engines, one ladder truck and a medical aid unit responded to the fire, finding the home fully involved in flames upon their arrival. Fire crews were able to extinguish the fire quickly, but the approximately 1,200-square-foot home sustained heavy fire and smoke damage.
The two adults and three children were not at home when the fire began but arrived later to see the damage, the VRFA said.
The family will be staying with relatives.
South King Fire and Rescue aided the VRFA on the call.
The fire is under investigation.
