Not much is left of a family's garage that caught fire in Shelby Township that had a Jaguar and Corvette inside of it. It’s the second time in two weeks in that community that a downed wire set a structure on fire before DTE Energy could cut power to it. Thankfully no one was hurt in either case. The couple that lives there says it may not be so fortunate if this happens again. "This could’ve been preventable. one hundred percent," said Sandy Lukas. Lukas and Anthony Bianchini say they would still have their garage, cars, and thousands of dollars of belongings if DTE line crews got to their home sooner rather than hours later, on Wednesday. It was then that a thunderstorm and strong winds blew a power line on their garage.
