EUREKA -- A family in Eureka had to climb out the window of their basement to escape a fire that engulfed their home early Sunday.

According to the Juab County Sheriff's Office, dispatchers received reports of the fire at the home on the 100 block of Clark Street at 4:39 a.m. When firefighters arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames.

All four people inside, a mother and her three children -- ages 10, 16 and 22 -- were able to make it out safely. The house, however, was destroyed.

The Red Cross provided food, clothing and comfort kits for the family -- who is now staying with other family members.

The Juab County Sheriff's Office and the Utah Fire Marshall's Office are investigating. The fire does not appear to be suspicious.
