SALT LAKE CITY -- A fire sparked in an attic caused six people to be out of their home Saturday.

The fire ignited at about 1 a.m. Fire investigators say it started in a swamp cooler.

The family did have working smoke detectors that alerted them to get out.

The Red Cross took the family--grandparents, parents and two kids--to a temporary shelter.

There was very little structural damage so the family should be able to get back into their home soon.
