Greece, N.Y. - Firefighters say working smoke detectors helped a family escape their burning home early Wednesday in Greece.
Ridge Road firefighter Randy Jensen said firefighters were called to the home at 334 Ballad Avenue just before 2 a.m.
Four people were outside the house when firefighters arrived. Monroe Ambulance treated the four, and as a precaution, transported them to Strong Hospital for smoke inhalation.
The fire started in a second-story bedroom and was contained within 30 minutes, but left the home with extensive smoke damage to the second floor.
The Red Cross is providing assistance for the family.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
