Firefighters knocked down a fast-moving blaze Thursday that destroyed a garage and caused heavy damage to an attached breezeway at a single-family home on Fairbanks Road in Raynham.
At approximately noon, the Raynham Fire Department received a call from a homeowner who said her garage was on fire at 20 Fairbanks Ave, a two-story, wood-frame structure, according to a press release issued by the department.
The fire, which originated in the garage, is believed to be accidental and the cause appeared to be electrical, said Raynham Deputy Fire Chief Bryan LaCivita. Firefighters were able to “quickly” extinguish the flames, the press release said.
When reporters and photographers arrived on scene at around 12:15, the flames were already extinguished.
