Early this morning the occupant of a far North side home smelled smoke coming from his garage before it tripped his smoke alarm. Firefighters arrived at 0352 and found smoke from the garage which had advanced thru the house. The fire in the garage was quickly knocked down but a loft made final extinguishment hard work. The overhead garage door was removed for access and a collector car was pushed out before the fire was extinguished 32 minutes after arrival.
The occupant safely self-evacuated before the department’s arrival and his dog was found safe in the house.
