A fire that spread from a trash can started a fire on the wall of a detached garage at the Jack Newcomb home at 1204 Bond Street early Tuesday morning.
Firemen say on arrival they found the owner Jack Newcomb trying to keep the fire down with a hose. Firemen were able to quickly knock down the fire with damage confined to the one wall and an area under the eaves of one corner of the building. The inside of the building was not damaged.
The fire call came in around four Tuesday morning with firemen on the scene about 45 minutes.
