A fire started in a garage in Harrisburg at 16th and Walnut streets at approximately 9:45 p.m. on Monday, but it was quickly extinguished by fire crews, according to the Harrisburg Fire Bureau.
The building, a two-story combined occupancy structure, included a corner store, mechanic shop, and five apartments.
The building is across the street from the Harrisburg Fire Bureau. On-duty firefighters noticed smoke coming from the building on the station’s security cameras. At the same time, calls started coming in about the fire, and neighbors began knocking on the station’s door to alert crews.
Firefighters were on the scene within minutes and were able to fairly quickly put out what they are calling a difficult fire.
