Mike Barron and his teenage son, Zachary Barron, were checked at St. Joseph's Medical Center in Brainerd for smoke inhalation and released, Underhill said. Melissa and a teenage daughter, Karlye Barron, were not injured.
"The smoke detectors worked, which is a great thing," Underhill said. He said the American Red Cross assisted the family in finding temporary housing.
Also responding to the scene were the Baxter Police Department, North Ambulance, the State Patrol and the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Department.
