Marion County firefighters were dispatched to a home in Silver Springs Shores early Tuesday morning after a fire ignited inside a garage.
At around 1:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Marion County Fire Rescue units responded to a residence located on Dogwood Drive Course in Ocala. According to MCFR, an individual had called 911 and reported that a fire was located in the home’s garage.
The first MCFR unit arrived on scene in less than 10 minutes, and crews observed smoke “billowing from the eaves.”
Several additional MCFR units soon arrived on scene, and the firefighters used a hose line to attack the fire in the garage.
Firefighters managed to quickly extinguish the flames in the garage, preventing the fire from extending into the home. MCFR stated that two family pets were inside the home at the time of the fire.
There were no injuries reported.
An investigation is currently being conducted to determine the cause and origin of the fire, according to MCFR.
