Crews arrived to find flames shooting from the Levitt-built house and got to work putting them down with an aggressive interior attack.

The family was able to escape with their dog.

A male resident suffered smoke inhalation and a female resident suffered a medical issue. Both were transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, an official said.
