Crews said light smoke and fire damage could still be seen when they arrived, and they put out the remaining fire and dealt with hot spots.

The majority of the damage was limited to the exterior of the garage, along with a home next door that sustained exterior damage due to its proximity to the heat and flames, the fire department said.
