Lacey said a woman and “young” dog resided in the house at the time. Both got out safely and were uninjured. He said fire officials red-tagged the house after the incident, meaning the home is not inhabitable.
The woman reportedly has family in the area, he added, and is residing elsewhere for now.
“They’re taken care of, they’re doing alright,” Lacey said.
Firefighters contained the fire to the garage, and reported no other property damage to the home and surrounding area.
The cause of the blaze is still under investigation, Lacey said.
