Sitka firefighters responded to a garage fire on Sunday afternoon.
The fire hall received a report of flames and smoke coming from the garage of a home at 1303 Edgecumbe Drive, at around 1 P.M. Sunday (3-29-20).
One engine arrived and found the flames mostly doused by the resident.
Fire Chief Dave Miller says hot ashes in a garbage can likely ignited the blaze. The fire crew checked for further spread of the fire and found all was well.
A portable fan was used to clear smoke from the structure.
