At approximately 3:49 p.m. Sunday afternoon, the Wembley Fire Department along with the Beaverlodge Fire Department and LaGlace and Clairmont Stations of the County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service responded to a reported garage fire on Range Road 92 north of Township Road 720.

Upon arrival, crews found a fully involved single detached garage on fire, which had spread to an adjacent pick-up truck and was melting the siding of the residence. The Wembley Fire Department quickly knocked down the fire on arrival and prevented the fire from spreading to the home. There was radiant heat damage to the siding, but no structural damage to the residence. Due to a stock of tires in the garage, crews remained on scene for approximately 2.5 hours extinguishing hot spots.

No one was injured as a result of the fire.

The County Regional Fire Service’s Fire Marshall is currently investigating the cause of the fire.
