An Annandale family of six is displaced after a fire started in their home Wednesday, Nov. 28.

Around 8:31 p.m., Fairfax County and City of Fairfax crews responded to the home in the 4100 block of Elizabeth Lane. Crews found smoke throughout the home and quickly put out a fire in the basement level garage. No one was injured.

All six residents were home when the fire happened. Smoke alarms had activated, and all safely evacuated before help arrived.
