“Someone knocked on our window and told us to get out, that our house was on fire,” one tenant who declined to give their name said. “I kept hearing this popping.”
Long Beach fire crews received a call about a garage fire at about 7 a.m. Saturday, Long Beach fire spokesman Brian Fisk said.
The fire was reported in the 4100 block of Greenbrier Road, just north of Heartwell Park.
When units arrived, they reportedly saw heavy fire and smoke coming from the garage and the attached house. Crews had received word that civilians were trapped inside the flames, however, Fisk said the people inside the home were able to escape and were huddled in the backyard.

LONG BEACH, Calif. - Police are investigating after graffiti was found at the Long Beach Convention Center, an approved shelter location for migrant children.
Brandon Richardson, of Long Beach Post, shared photos of the convention center, where one of the graffiti read, ICE and another resembled a splash of blood on the convention center stairs.
Police in Long Beach are working to identify who did the vandalism.
The incident comes just days after Long Beach city officials approved using the convention center to provide temporary housing for unaccompanied migrant children. The shelter will be run and secured by the Department of Health and Human Service. Federal law enforcement officials, not Long Beach PD, will guard the facility, city officials say.
