Fire destroys garage near Brookville

A large, detached garage at a home near Brookville was destroyed in a fire Saturday.

The cause of the blaze in the 7000 block of Wellbaum Road is under investigation.

Crews responded at approximately 1:25 p.m. and saw a lot of billowing smoke in the air as they approached the scene from Salem Avenue.

Residents were on scene as firefighters worked to clear the scene.

A fire official said some contents in the garage were salvaged, but the fire caused an estimated $25,000 in damages.

Extra manpower from Phillipsburg and other fire departments responded to provide relief if needed because of the heat.
