About 20 firefighters responded to a report of a structure fire on S. Sixth St. Friday night.
The fire department says the address on the 700-block was a two-story wood-frame house, but they found the fire was in a detached garage. The garage was already heavily involved when firefighters arrived. They knocked the fire out quickly, but the garage, including the owner’s vehicle inside, was a total loss.
One firefighter suffered minor burns and was treated at the scene. No one else was hurt.
The exterior of the home sustained some damage, and firefighters made sure there was no extension of the fire, such as burning embers, anywhere inside the house. Fire crews were on the scene for about three hours, the fire department said.
Damage to the garage, vehicle and home was estimated at $50,000.
