Fire forces five out of La Quinta home

Five people were displaced Sunday when a fire burned the attached garage of a home in La Quinta.

The fire was reported at 9:26 a.m. in the 53300 block of Avenida Martinez, said Jody Hagemann of the Riverside County Fire Department.

Firefighters at the scene were able to keep the garage fire from spreading into other parts of the home, and contained the fire in about 40 minutes, according to Hagemann.

The two adults and three children displaced by the fire managed to escape without injury.
