STOVE SUSPECTED IN GARAGE FIRE

A wood stove is suspected to be the cause of a detached garage fire on Metcalfe Street on New Year’s Day.

Central York Fire Services responded to a call on Metcalfe at 2.48 p.m., on January 1, encountering heavy smoke from the first and second floors of the building.

“17 firefighters responded to the initial report of black smoke and flames coming from inside the home,” said the CYFS. “Hoarding conditions hampered firefighting operations and resulted in defensive operations until the fire could be brought under control and the building safely entered.

“The cause and origin of the fire appear to have been a wood stove on the main floor of the garage.”

There were no injuries.
