VIDEO: Firefighters in Gig Harbor battled a brush fire that spread to a garage and caused extensive property damage Saturday night, leading to a garage fire.
At about 10 p.m., firefighters with Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One responded to reports of a fire in the 600 block of 37th Avenue NW. "I saw the glow and thought at first my neighbors were just working in the yard," said neighbor Crystal Bentley. "I quickly realized it was a fire, and it was spreading. It was scary, and I was concerned about my neighbor's house and I immediately called 911."
On their way to the location, first responders told FOX 13 Seattle they received additional information about possible explosions and a shed on fire.
"We heard two big booms," said neighbor Sharron Erickson. "The first one shook our house. We went out on our back portch and that’s when we saw the smoke and flames."
