Fire destroys garage
YOUNGSTOWN
Fire reports said embers from a fire pit may have caused a blaze that destroyed a Hartzell Avenue garage late Monday.
Crews were called about 11:20 p.m. to 1746 Hartzell Ave. and found the garage in flames.
Reports said there were cars parked near the garage but reports did not say what was inside the garage, other than it had no power or heat.
The owner told firefighters he had been outside but had gotten tired and went to bed and was awakened by children telling him the garage was on fire.
Reports said a fire pit close to the garage was still smoldering when firefighters arrived.
Damage is listed at $6,000.
There were no injuries.
