Two Omaha firefighters suffered minor injuries battling a house fire Tuesday morning.
 
Firefighters responded to a 911 call around 7 at a home near 120th and Blondo streets.  Four people in the house got out safely thanks to a passerby who saw smoke and flames and knocked on the door.
 
The flames also spread to a neighbor's home.  There's no word yet on a cause.
 
The family who owns the home here are too upset to talk and tells KMTV they're unsure of what they'll do next.

This was their retirement home and lived here with their son and grandson.

Omaha fire said they're still investigating but it appears the fire started in the garage where it later spread.
