Two residents safely escaped a fire at their North Shore home after one of the occupants, a three-year-old girl, alerted her grandmother of the blaze.

Shortly before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, firefighters responded to a fire at a two-story home located on Kamehameha Highway in Haleiwa. When they arrived, they observed light smoke emerging from the windows on the ground floor, said Honolulu Fire Spokesman Capt. David Jenkins.

The toddler, who lives at the home, saw smoke and alerted her grandmother. Jenkins said both safely escaped before firefighters arrived.

The blaze was located in the corner of the family room. Firefighters extinguished the blaze by 5:35 p.m.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage to the home and its contents is estimated at $5,100.
