Overnight garage fire on St. Peter Ave early Wednesday morning.

The Minot Fire Department responded to a report of a structure fire at 211 St. Peter Ave in southeast Minot today at 12:06 a.m.

Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy fire coming from a detached garage at the rear of the property.

Fire crews verified that all occupants had evacuated the home before initiating fire suppression efforts. The garage where the fire started was engulfed and is a total loss, along with its contents, including two vehicles. The fire also caused damage to the siding of the home and a neighboring garage, but firefighters were able to prevent the fire from extending inside these structures.

There were no reported injuries to civilians or firefighters. Once power was restored, firefighters confirmed that the home’s heating system was operational, allowing the occupants to remain in the home.

The response included three engine companies, two truck companies, and one command unit.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

We decided it was time to let Blaze do the morning truck check by himself… It was taking him a little longer than it should, and we found him like this—stuck trying to pull down one of the roll-up compartment doors. Maybe next time, Blaze!

Yesterday, during three fire calls, we were teaching Blaze about the many tasks firefighters handle on a fire scene. One important lesson: keeping fire hydrants clear of snow ensures our crews can connect quickly when every second counts.

This winter, be like Blaze, or Brian -- keep those hydrants clear!
