A husband and wife escaped injury during an early-morning fire to their south-west Milton home today (Wednesday).

The Milton Fire Department was called to the residence on Drysdale Crescent — off of Farmstead Drive near Louis St. Laurent — shortly before 4 a.m. after a man detected smoke coming from his garage and discovered it ablaze.

He quickly woke up his wife and the couple got out unscathed.

According to Fire Chief Dave Pratt, the fire was already through the roof upon his crew’s arrival.
