When they arrived at the scene, firefighters were afraid that the fire could spread to nearby structures, so they called for additional crews. They also called for additional tankers to bring additional water because the nearly fire hydrant is about two miles away, Norrod said.
There were not injuries reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation, he said.
First report:
Firefighters are battling a detached garage fire that was reported on West Third Street early this morning.
