The house sits on the corner of 8th and Olive, with the garage directly to the south. Chief Cappel says the garage was a complete loss.
A house to the south of the garage sustained heat damage to its vinyl siding. No injuries were reported. Fire crews were on the scene for about an hour.
There was a storm in the area at the time, but Cappel didn’t think lightning played a role in the fire. Atlantic Police and the Cass County Sheriff’s Office assisted the Fire Department at the scene.
