Smoke and flames could be seen coming from the 2-car garage leaving burn marks on the bricks above the garage leading up to the home above. Firefighters quickly sprung into action and extinguished the fire which had already began to damage the interior of the garage.

“Firefighters did a great job on this call. Hard work, preparation, dedication, training and a quick response time all contributed to such a positive outcome with this fire.”
