Damage is estimated at $60,000 following a garage fire in the 2500 block of Clarence Avenue South Saturday night. Fire crews responded to the blaze just before midnight. The fire was accidental in nature and was started due to a block heater being plugged into an extension cord. The cord was pinched from a hood of a vehicle being closed and compressing it. A news release from the fire department says the fire originated in the hood area of the vehicle. Crews had the blaze under control by midnight and the last responding crew returned to their station at 12:46 Sunday morning.
