The residents of the house are a couple in their 60s and longtime residents of the Lake Drive cul de sac, and the child is their grandchild, said the neighbor, who gave her name only as Meg.
Smoke was visible before fire trucks arrived on the scene, and three construction workers in a neighboring building helped people get out of the house, Meg said.

"There were three young men who went inside the house," she said. "I think that really made a significant difference."
