The homeowners escaped a fire that engulfed the second floor of a North Merrick home Monday.

The North Merrick Fire Department responded with five apparatuses, and they had mutual aid from the East Meadow Fire Department, Merrick Fire Department, Bellmore Fire Department and from the Roosevelt Fire Department.
"We extinguished the fire, nobody got hurt and we were at the scene for approximately an hour and a half," Rogers added.
