Authorities say a clothes dryer is responsible for a fire at 49- 14 West Main Street in Roanoke County early this morning.
A resident heard the smoke detector, and got both of his sons out safely before firefighters arrived.
The fire was contained to the laundry room, but the rest of the house sustained heavy smoke and water damage.
The Red Cross will meet with the family later this morning to help them find a place to stay.
