LAKEPORT, Calif. – An early Friday morning fire damaged a garage at a Lakeport home.

The fire on Polk Street was reported at around 12 a.m., according to radio reports.

“We got a quick knockdown on it,” said Odell Landers, a Lakeport Fire firefighter/paramedic, who estimated that firefighters were able to control the blaze within about five minutes of arrival.

There was a pile of objects just inside the garage that was burning, he said.

Kelseyville Fire also had been dispatched to assist, but was canceled en route as the fire quickly was brought under control, Landers said.

Radio reports indicated that firefighters went into overhaul and mop up mode by 12:35 a.m., and terminated the incident at just after 1:30 a.m.

Overall, there was minimal damage to the garage itself, although Landers said there was some smoke damage to the nearby home.
