UPDATE @ 4:55 a.m.
Firefighters said two people will be displaced after a fire broke out in their attached garage Saturday morning.
Crews responded to the home in the 4500 block of St. James Avenue and found a garage fully involved in smoke and flames.
Whitby said the cause of the blaze is still under investigation, but the cause might have been a mattress on the outside of the structure.

A neighboring house was also damaged in the fire, but damage was limited to melted siding on the side of the house.
