Well, we had a garage fire last night. The garage is a total loss, as well as one or our neighbor's cars. My mom and brother's cars both suffered some damage, but they should be repairable (they were parked outside, garage was mainly used for storage). Two other neighbor's garages had some siding damage.
The good news is nobody was hurt and the house suffered no damage (it was a detached garage). Not sure what caused the fire yet, but it's looking like a firework, cigarette butt, or something like that started a garbage bag on fire that was right next to the garage.
Some pics I took this afternoon of the damage can be seen on my Facebook page (
here). One of the news channels showed up and had a brief clip of the fire on the evening news today. It's not on their website, but I'll post a link up if they put it up.
A bit shaken up still, but I'll be fine. We've got power and phone service back (the power company was there before the fire was even put out). Cable company is supposed to be out tomorrow. As bad as the fire was, it could have been a lot worse.
