An overnight fire caused an estimated $30,000 in damage to a detached alleyway garage at 2206 Geneva St. There were no injuries in the incident.
The Racine Police Department and Racine Fire Department Engine 1, Engine 2, Truck 1, Quint 3 and Med 3 responded to the scene, as well as an evidence technician, battalion chief and fire investigator.
Upon their arrival at about 2:38 a.m. Tuesday, Racine Fire Department crews found a detached garage on fire in the rear alley according to Lt. Scott Sorce, who noted firefighters protected adjacent building exposures while minimizing additional damage to the garage.
Sorce told The Journal Times that a neighbor alerted occupants of the two-family home about the garage fire in the back alley. The residents evacuated the dwelling as a precaution.
