An early morning garage fire forced nine people from the home of a jailed Iraqi immigrant accused of running down his daughter because she had become too "westernized."

Glendale Fire Department spokesman Daniel Valenzuela says firefighters kept the blaze from spreading to other parts of the home. He says there's no indication the fire was intentionally set.

Valenzuela says everyone escaped unharmed at about 4 a.m. after a person inside heard a smoke alarm and notified the fire department

Investigators are trying to determine how the fire started and the extent of damage. There was a barbecue smoker in the garage.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki's daughter, Noor Faleh Almaleki, died Monday. Another woman he is accused of running down is expected to survive.
