TRACY, CA - A Tracy home was destroyed after a garage fire spread to the rest of the home Tuesday afternoon.

Tracy firefighters responded to the home on the 18000 block of West Byron Road, near the Mountain House community after the call came in around 12:45 p.m., Division Chief David Bramell said.

Four people, two adults and 2 teenagers, were home during the fire and were able to get out safely.

The fire, which originated in the garage, spread to the second floor and attic. Brammell said it took 25 firefighters 40 minutes to extinguish the blaze. He said the cause of the fire is undetermined and under investigation.

Crews were able to salvage many of the contents on the first floor; however, damage is estimated at $150,000.

Brammell said the home will not be inhabitable in the near future.

The Red Cross was called to assist the family.
