A garage, and two vehicles fell victim to a fire Sunday evening in Prince Albert’s west flat neighbourhood. The situation though could have been far worse.

Shortly before 8 p.m, the Prince Albert Fire Department responded to a single car detached garage on fire in the 800 block of 17th St. W.

On arrival the garage was found fully engulfed with a vehicle inside and a second one nearby. The fire was observed moving to the adjacent home.
