GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — High winds posed a challenge for Green Bay firefighters at a garage fire Tuesday.
Crews were called to the 800 Block of North Buchanan Street for a detached garage fire. Once on scene, they saw an adjacent parked vehicle engulfed in flames.
High winds posed a significant challenge, exposing surrounding power lines and a neighboring garage to intense heat and flames. These structures sustained only minimal damage.
The quick actions of a passerby who alerted the homeowners allowed them to evacuate safely from their residence.
Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire within 10 minutes, effectively containing the damage to the garage and vehicle.
No residents were displaced, and there were no injuries to the public or firefighters. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, with damage losses estimated at $100,000.
