Marysville police and fire units responded to a residential fire in Mill Valley Tuesday morning.

According to a release from the Marysville Fire Department, first responders were sent to a home in the 1000 block of Mill Park Drive at 7:56 a.m., Tuesday, for a house fire. Upon arrival, they found that one resident had successfully escaped the fire and retreated to the backyard while the second was still inside. Marysville police officers were able to get the second resident to safety and emergency personnel escorted them to a safer area to be treated by Marysville EMS.
