No one was injured late Monday when fire broke out in a single-family Palatine home, according to a Palatine Fire Department news release.

Fire crews responded to the blaze at 10:22 p.m. on the 100 block of Rohlwing Road within five minutes of the call and saw smoke coming from a second-floor bedroom, the release states. All five residents and a dog escaped by the time crews arrived. Firefighters searched the house and removed a second dog.
