According to acting platoon chief LLoyd Dozois, fire crews found heavy smoke and flames pouring out the front of the garage.

Dozois says a passerby alerted occupants in the home who were able to exit safely.

He said crews quickly got the blaze under control and managed to contain it to the garage area.

Damage is pegged at $100,000, Dozois said.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
