Crews Battle Garage Fire on Swan Lake Road

DULUTH, Minn. – Crews today responded to a garage fire around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 2600 block of Swan Lake Road.

The Duluth Fire Department responded to the scene and found the garage at the residence completely engulfed in flames and explosions going off due to gas or fuel tanks inside.

“We did have some water supply issues,” stated Assistant Chief Chris Martinson. “We have 1,000 feet of hydrant line out, which is a long way, but the crews did a good job with that.”

The garage and all contents were a total loss. Damage is estimated at $250,000, which includes the structure as well as the contents inside, which included three classic cars.

According to authorities there were no injuries reported in this incident.

The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Duluth Fire Marshals office.
