SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A garage fire in the Paradise Hills area forced a half-dozen people from home Thursday.

Firefighters arrived to find flames and smoke pouring out of a garage attached to a single-story home, the city agency reported. It took the crews about 25 minutes to subdue the fire.
The American Red Cross was called in to help the residents of the house — five adults and a child — arrange for emergency lodging.
