At 3:46pm yesterday we were dispatched to a garage fire at 223 Pearl Street. Thick black smoke was reported coming from the garage at the time with the garage attached to the house. Upon arriving on scene the garage became fully engulfed and first due engine had a great knockdown stoping the fire from reaching into the house and getting the fire under control quickly. We would like to thank McComb PD for initial size up and hydrant location, McComb PMP for your initial set up help, and Allen Township for your Auto-Aid. Leipsic Fire Department was also requested but was disregarded due to the initial attack. Great Job Everyone!
