PHOTOS: A homeowner was injured after a fire fully engulfed a garage and left it a total loss in Woodstock Saturday evening, fire officials said. The Woodstock Fire/Rescue District responded around 7:37 p.m. Saturday to the 100 block of North Street for a report of a structure fire. Woodstock Fire/Rescue District Communication Specialist Alex Vucha said firefighters arrived within minutes and found a working garage fire. The small, single-car detached garage was fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters quickly pulled several hose lines and began extinguishing the fire, Vucha said. The fire was extinguished within 10 minutes and did not spread to nearby structures. A homeowner was treated at the scene for minor burns but refused transport to the hospital, Vucha said. Vucha said the fire is not believed to be suspicious in nature.
