A Friday morning fire destroyed a detached garage and all its contents at a Gasport home.

According to the Niagara County Sheriff's Office, the structure fire at 3821 Dale Road was called in at 8:14 a.m., but by the time emergency responders arrived at the location, the garage was fully engulfed with flames.

Patrol spoke with the homeowners, who stated they were not sure how the fire happened. Both stated they had been in the garage at some point during the morning hours on Friday but that they were unsure of how the fire started. The homeowners did say that the wood stove located inside of the garage was on.

The garage and all of its' contents appear to be a total loss. Those contents include a 2004 Pontiac GTO, A 1999 Chevy Blazer, five Arctic Cat Snowmobiles, misc. chain saws, tools, a toolbox and welder. The fire also damaged the siding on the home and camper at the address.

Gasport Chemical Hose Company and Wrights Corners Fire Company both responded to extinguish the fire and assist with traffic control. Members of Origin and Cause responded to investigate the fire.
