About 20 firefighters responded to the fire at the actor's
home in Malibu late on Wednesday and knocked down the flames in
35 minutes, said Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Rick Flores.
The fire burned the garage and caused smoke damage to an
upstairs room, Flores said. The cause was not immediately known
but investigators were at the scene.
Brosnan, 61, who starred in four James Bond movies between 1995
and 2002, and his family were alerted by a smoke detector and
got out of the house safely, KABC-TV reported, showing video
footage of the grim-faced actor standing on the street while
firefighters doused the blaze.
