Two units of a condominium complex in Pasadena were damaged by a fire Sunday and firefighters managed to safely evacuate the residents, authorities said.

Flames were reported at the structure in the 600 block of N. Wilson Avenue about 5:15 p.m., according to Lisa Derderian, public information officer with the Pasadena Fire Department.

The blaze was knocked down by 25 firefighters in about 30 minutes, she said.

A mother, young daughter and a small dog were evacuated from one of the units, while a couple and their small dog safely made it out of the other unit, Derderian said.

No injuries were reported and details regarding the extent of the damage were not immediately available, she said.

Police are asking drivers to avoid the area because some streets will be closed for the next three to four hours.
