ROY, Utah — An early Tuesday morning house fire in Roy displaced a family of four.

Robert Percival with the Roy Fire Department said crews were called to the area of 2058 West and 4550 South a little before 4:00 a.m.

Smoke was coming out of the roof and attic when crews arrived.

They entered the home and quickly put out the fire.
