Today at approximately 5:00PM, Indian Beach Fire Department was dispatched mutual aid to Emerald Isle for a reported garage fire.

Upon arrival, crews found a small garage fire with fire contained to the garage. Firefighters quickly deployed handlines, initiated suppression efforts, and worked to ensure the fire did not extend beyond the area of origin.

Thanks to the rapid actions of responding personnel and strong coordination among all agencies on scene, the incident was marked under control approximately 10 minutes after dispatch.
