No injuries were reported after a garage fire in Montecito early Friday.
Personnel from the Montecito Fire Department, Santa Barbara City Fire Department, the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District and American Medical Response responded at around 3:54 a.m. to the fire at a home on the 1400 block of Hosmer Lane.
Upon arrival, they found light smoke in the residence’s garage, according to Montecito Fire spokesperson Christina Atchison.
“An automatic sprinkler system in the garage helped quickly suppress the fire and limit damage,” Atchison said.
The main residence was not damaged, and the home’s occupants were safely evacuated, she added.
The cause was under investigation.
Crews were on scene for roughly an hour.
