SUAMICO, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A fuel leak is suspected in a fire that damaged two detached garages Tuesday in Suamico.
Firefighters say they were called to the 12000 block of Velp Avenue just before noon. Initial investigation indicates the homeowner was working on a truck when the fuel leak caught fire, igniting the truck and spreading to the garage. The homeowner tried to get the truck out of the garage, but could not before both garages on the property started on fire.
It took about half an hour to get the fire under control.
Loud sounds heard at the scene were the result of the truck’s tires exploding, the fire department says.
The damage was estimated at $130,000.
No one was injured.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
