FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Six people are safe, thanks to quick thinking by some Three Rivers Ambulance Authority (TRAA) medics.

The TRAA unit was driving down West Rudisill just before 2:00 a.m., Thursday, when they noticed smoke in the area. They found the smoke coming from the roof of a home located at 434 West Rudisill. The medics pounded on the front door and were able to help evacuate two adults and four kids.

Fort Wayne firefighters then arrived on the scene and had the blaze under control within 20 minutes.
