Firefighters say smoke alarms saved the occupants of a Fennell Bay home which has been damaged by fire overnight.

Four crews from Teralba, Toronto and Holmesville along with a Duty Commander were called to a home on Lake Road just after 10.00pm on Thursday to find a fire in the roof space.

They managed to contain the fire to one section of the home which caused only minor damage.

Firefighters say the working smoke alarms quickly alerted the occupants, allowing them to safely evacuate and call for help before the fire could take hold.
