SANDY, Utah – A family escaped and two dogs were rescued from a fire at a Sandy home early Thursday morning.

Fire crews were called to the blaze at about 3:30 a.m. near 9200 S. and 2500 E.

Firefighters said they could see flames from the second floor when they arrived.

Officials said the fire was contained to one bedroom on the second floor.
