Garage destroyed in Decatur fire

DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - A garage was destroyed and a shed caught fire Monday in Decatur.

Firefighters said the first crews on the scene in the 1900 block of Florida Court saw a garage fully engulfed. Crews were dispatched at 1:54 p.m. Monday.

The fence behind the garage was also fully engulfed and some fire was reported on a shed in another yard.

Responders pulled an attack line and started extinguishing the garage fire when they arrived. Additional crews pulled secondary lines and extinguished the remaining fire.

The fire extended to neighboring yards, leaving burn marks. The fire extended from a yard to the next because of dry leaves, crews said.

The only damage to the house where the garage was located was multiple broken windows due to heat. Crews said the fire melted siding on a home at 1952 E. Florida Court.

There were no injuries.

Ameren responded to the scene due to damaged power lines.

A cause has not yet been determined. The Illinois Fire Marshal's Office was contacted for an inspector.
