Homeowners were alerted to fire in their garage at 6:50AM on March 5th by their barking dog and all escaped unharmed. The fire, located at 9 Lanark Avenue, had started in the garage and was quickly spreading into the breezeway and the kitchen and attic of the house. The fire department was quickly alerted and responded with a full assignment. First arriving firefighters from D Group, led by Deputy Mark Cancilla, found heavy fire coming from the garage, where the roof had already collapsed. Firefighters made quick work of stretching lines into the main house and holding the fire to the breezeway and saving the remainder of the home. Water supply became an issue early on due to extremely low water flow from nearby hydrants.The damage to the home was estimated at $100,000 and included a car and a Harley Davidson motorcycle in the garage. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire was found to be from overloaded extension cords in the
garage.
