The resident watches as firemen remove the fire damaged contents of the garage. The fire at around 7:20 am, possibly caused by an electrical problem was quickly put out. The home, on 31st s.w. was not damaged.
A "contents" fire, likely caused by an electrical short circuit, destroyed the contents of a garage on 30th Ave. s.w. at around 7:20 am Wednesday morning, Jan. 11. No one was injured.
One resident was home but the fire in the detached garage did not spread. The garage was very full, with bikes, and many stored "family heirlooms" but they were all essentially destroyed.
The resident said they have insurance.
Incident Commander Captain Gordon Wolcott said, "We had a fire in the garage here. The cause is still under investigation, we think it might be electrical, but we don't know. It didn't get into the structure, it was more of a contents fire so that was fortunate, but it was unfortunate that the occupant lost some family heirlooms."
