Multiple units including mutual aid, a RIT team, and the fire coordinator were paged into Whiting this morning for a garage fire on Monroe Ave.

The garage, which according to Google Maps, was a separated structure/out-building, was reported by fire personnel to have its own electrical service.

At one point it was mentioned that a resident inside the main home refused to leave the house because of the garage fire.

It didn’t take long for crews on scene to get the blaze under-control and reporting back that they should be fine with the equipment on hand,

As always, stay clear of the area of active first responder activity to allow first responders to do their jobs safely.
