Fires Damage Garages Across Maine, Canada, Texas, and Minnesota

A Maine Turnpike Authority maintenance garage in Auburn was destroyed by fire on Sunday night, with four plow trucks and other vehicles inside, all deemed total losses. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the fire was contained without spreading to nearby buildings. The State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire. In a separate incident in Cranbrook, a detached garage and vehicle were damaged by fire, but quick response from fire crews prevented further spread and no injuries occurred. Additionally, a residential garage fire in Houston was caused by an inverter failure in an RV camper, while a garage fire in Medford Township was extinguished shortly after the residents evacuated. Each incident highlights the importance of rapid fire response to minimize damage and ensure safety.
