TILLSONBURG - No one was hurt after Tillsonburg Fire and Rescue Services responded to a small garage fire in the area of Potters Road and Harvest Avenue.
Chief Shane Caskanette says the call came in at around 6:00 p.m. yesterday.
"Fire crews responded to the Potters Road area for a reported garage fire. On arrival, they had witnessed a small fire in the garage that the homeowner had actually extinguished with a garden hose."
He says the garage sustained some smoke damage but it could have been worse if the fire had escalated.
