Niagara Falls Firefighters Prevent Garage Fire from Engulfing Home

Firefighters in Niagara Falls acted quickly early Thursday morning to stop a garage fire from engulfing a home on the 2600 block of Porter Road.

According to a post by the Niagara Falls Firefighters Local 714 union, the blaze broke out around 1:30am resulting in their quick response.

When Engine 3 arrived on scene, crews found the garage fully engulfed in flames with the fire beginning to reach the house. Firefighters immediately deployed a hoseline to knock down the intense flames surrounding the exterior of the residence.

After containing the main fire, Engine 3 entered the home to check for fire extension while Engines 4 and 8 continued efforts to suppress the remaining flames in the garage. Inside the house, crews located a fire that had reached a rear bedroom.

Firefighters were able to extinguish it before it could spread further.

The fire was brought under control within an hour. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
