Fire crews were called to a garage fire in Brevoort Park, shortly after midnight on Saturday.
When they arrived on scene, they found a detached garage in the back of a home ablaze. Crews were quickly able to get the fire extinguished.
Investigators believe the fire to be accidental, but caused by a backyard fire pit that had holes in the base allowing hot embers to fall onto a wooden deck. They believe the fire started on the deck and spread to the garage.
The cost of the damage is estimated at $40,000.
