VIDEO: A neighbor is being credited with warning a family of four that their home was on fire early Thursday, allowing them to escape before flames consumed the house. Police were first notified about the fire at 4:40 a.m., Kaysville Fire Chief Brett Larkin said. When officers arrived at the home near 590 S. Grand Oaks Drive, flames had already taken over the roof, but two adults and two teenagers had evacuated safely. The fire spread rapidly from the basement to the attic, Larkin said. Firefighters spent more than an hour containing the blaze and the rest of the day dousing the flames, including knocking down portions of the home to reach lingering hot spots.
