Kids playing with matches is the suspected cause of a Wednesday afternoon garage fire at 1214 Illinois St., fire officials said. Racine Fire Department Lt. Scott Sorce said the blaze to the detached garage was reported at 4:07 p.m. Wednesday. Matches are being considered as the cause, Sorce said. Children home at the time noticed smoke coming from the garage, then safely waited for fire crews to arrive, Sorce said. Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames, he said. The blaze did about $5,000 damage to the structure. The exact cause remains under investigation by the Racine Fire Department and Racine Police Department, Sorce said.
