BELFAST - Fire leveled a garage and caused significant damage to a home on Hayford Hill in Belfast late Sunday morning.
According to Belfast Fire Chief Jim Richards, owners Jasha and Sara Brown were inside their home with their two children when the fire started at around 10:30 a.m.
“They said they heard some kind of explosion in the garage,” Richards said. “They didn’t know what it was.”
All of the occupants escaped uninjured, he said.
Richards said the blaze spread from the garage to the house. Belfast firefighters were able to put out the fire, he said, but the garage was flattened and he described the house as “totaled” from heat, smoke and water damage.
Speaking early Sunday afternoon, Richards said the cause of the fire was still unknown.
