(KNOX) – The Polk County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a residential structure fire Wednesday in Section 2 of Tynsid Township in rural Fisher.
The fire is believed to have originated with a wood stove located in a shed that was part of an attached garage.
When deputies arrived, the garage was engulfed, and the fire had spread to the attached house.
The responding fire departments were able to extinguish the fire before it fully spread to the house.
The garage was a complete loss; however, damage to the house was limited.
All occupants were able to exit safely and no injuries were reported.
No further information will be released.
