ROCHESTER, Minn. — Firefighters had their challenges cut out for them in a home garage fire. Three people and six dogs were in the house next door with power lines nearby, and electrical wires and a propane tank at risk. The detached garage was destroyed, but all else ended up OK. The fire broke ut shortly before 10:40 p.m. in the 3900 block of 5th Streeet Northwest. It was fully enguled when fire crews arrived. Nobody, thank goodness, was in the garage. Not were the dogs. No vehicles were in the garage either.
Total loss. Cause not immediately determined. Image: Rochester Fire Department
