One firefighter suffered burns to his face and his hands. A second firefighter suffered burns to his ears, Scott said.

The department dispatched 107 firefighters to the scene, Scott said.

The house's roof suffered a collapse, prompting firefighters to be pulled from the home and assume a defensive position attacking the blaze from outside the home, Scott said.

Firefighters kept the flames from spreading to an adjacent pool house, garage and nearby brush, Scott said.

The homeowners, children and their nanny were alerted to the fire by smoke alarms, Scott said. All of them made it out of the house unharmed

The cause of the fire is under investigation by arson investigators, Scott said.
