Upon arrival, smoke was visible from the garage roof. Although the flames were extinguished, heat was identified in the walls by fire crews.
Crews were able to identify the area of heat with their thermal imaging camera and a pump tank was used to fully extinguish the fire. The attic was also checked to make sure no fire had spread.
