Crews were able to save a Crescent Township house after a fire broke out in a detached garage early Monday.

The fire started around 4:45 a.m. in the 1000 block of Crest Drive.

Crescent Volunteer Fire Chief Dan Muller said the fire burned through the roof and damaged the siding of the home, but the quick work of the firefighters saved the house.

The family was sleeping and woke up to the sound of smoke detectors. They were able to make it out safely.

No cars were parked in the garage at the time, however some were in the driveway.

Muller said the fire marshal will determine what started the fire.
