SACRAMENTO -- Two people and a dog are safe after a fire broke out at the back of the house, which was located on 55th Street in south Sacramento. 

There were two people in the house - a child and a babysitter - when the fire broke out early Tuesday afternoon, and both of them escaped through a front window. 

Fire crews who responded to the scene not only knocked down the fire quickly, but also pulled out a dog. 

Officials say the fire extended into the garage, but there was minimal smoke damage.
