The fire started just before 3 a.m. at a home located in the 770 East block of 200 North, before extending to the detached garage of a nearby house.

Officials said a family of five has been displaced and receiving assistance from the American Red Cross after the fire caused significant damage to their home. The garage at the other house was also heavily damaged along with one vehicle inside.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Provo firefighters, along with those from Orem, responded to a second home fire hours later which is believed to have been started in a bedroom. A man living in the home in the 2600 West block near 1300 North was able to get out safely.

Orem firefighters were needed due to the limited number of personnel available to battle the fire.
