No one was injured in a two-alarm garage fire on Stoney Brook Drive in Wilton on Wednesday afternoon.
Wilton Fire Chief Don Nourse said Wednesday that the homeowner of 10 Stoney Brook Drive was home, noticed the fire coming from the detached garage, and alerted the department at about 12:30 p.m. Nourse called for a second alarm for manpower, as the Wilton Fire Department is mainly a volunteer force with a limited ability to respond to daytime fires.
When crews arrived, the fire had broken through one of the eaves of the garage. Nourse said crews were “fairly quickly” able to bring the fire under control and douse it. The garage, which did have a vehicle in it at the time of the fire, according to Nourse, has water and smoke damage, with moderate damage from the flames.
“Everything went smoothly, and we were able to extinguish the fire rapidly and contain the extension,” Nourse said.
No one was injured, and the cause has yet to be determined, Nourse said. Crews were able to clear the scene and return to the station by 3 p.m.
The property is listed as owned by the Jeffers Revokable Trust.
Crews from Milford, Lyndeborough, Greenville, Temple and Mont Vernon assisted at the scene, as well as the Wilton Ambulance and Wilton Police.
