A family of four is homeless after an early morning fire destroyed their home.

The fire started shortly before 3:30 a.m. Monday near Sierra and Thompson in Reedley. When firefighters arrived the home was covered in flames.

Luckily the children were not home at the time and the couple was able to escape thanks to a working smoke alarm.

"Fortunately the occupants, there were 2 in the house in the upstairs bedroom, were alerted by a working smoke alarm, and able to exit the house through an upstairs window," said Reedley Fire Chief, Jerry Issak.

Remarkably the man jumped from the second story window to get a ladder so his wife could safely escape. The cause of the fire is still not known.
