PHOTOS: Emergency crews were called to the scene of a garage fire that erupted on the cityโs South Side early Wednesday morning. The fire erupted in what appears to be a detached garage in the backyard of a home in the 1500 block of East 85th Street, in Avalon Park.
Officials have not yet provided details on what sparked the blaze, but crews were on the scene around 6:45 a.m. when flames could be seen from overhead. SkyCam 9 was over the scene as crews worked to control the blaze and were eventually able to stamp out the flames, but around 7 a.m., though the garage appeared to have suffered extensive damage in the blaze. It is unclear if anyone was injured.
