Firefighters from four communities responded Monday to a garage fire on Kenway Drive in Litchfield that also damaged two neighboring houses. The initial report came in shortly before 1 p.m., when a caller reported smoke and flames at the garage. Deputy Chief Michael LaRoche of the Litchfield Fire Department said the garage was engulfed in flames when firefighters from Litchfield, Gardiner, Wales and West Gardiner arrived. LaRoche estimated the garage was about 20 feet from each of the adjacent buildings, both of which sustained damage to their vinyl siding. The garage was destroyed. “The cause of the fire is unknown at this time,” LaRoche said. Using a tanker relay for water, firefighters extinguished the flames in about 20 minutes, LaRoche said, and no one was injured.
