Ashland Fire Destroys Garage and Damages Nearby Homes

Firefighters responded to a garage fire in Ashland late Tuesday evening.

At 10:14pm, Tuesday, emergency personnel were called to a garage fire in the 1600 Block of Middle Street.

Firefighters arrived within minutes and found a garage fully engulfed in flames in the rear of the property at 1601 Walnut Street.

A quick attack had the fire under control within minutes, but the fire completely destroyed the garage and vehicle parked nearby, damaged a car parked across the street, and melted the siding of nearby homes and garages.

Firefighters were on scene doing overhaul until about midnight.

A State Police Fire Marshal will be at the scene on Wednesday to determine a cause.  No injuries were reported.
