This morning just before 4:30am SKFR crews were dispatched to Creek View Dr for reports of a residential structure fire. First arriving crews found a well involved garage fire with flames coming out of the roof of the house. A quick fire attack was made and crews were able to stop the fire from spreading into the home. All occupants had evacuated the house prior to the arrival of fire crews and there were no injuries to the occupants or firefighters.
