A garage was destroyed in an early morning fire in Collingwood on Monday.

Fire crews responded to a home on Ninth Street at about 2:30 a.m., according to Deputy Fire Chief Dan Thurman.

He said nobody was injured and the fire did not cause any damage to nearby houses.

Thurman said the cause is believed to be “an extension cord that was used for lighting.”

The Collingwood Fire Department was also first on scene to a blaze on Sixth Street but was overseen by the Clearview Fire Department.

Chief Roree Payment said crews responded around 7:40 p.m., on Sunday evening.

He said the fire started in the fireplace and worked its way up into the chimeny and eventually the attic.

A family of four was in the home at the time and managed to evacuate. Payment said the fire caused about $10,000 in damage.

“Crews did a good job, they were able to keep the damage to a minimum,” he said.
