Two women talk in the driveway of a Tombras Avenue home where a fire was reported Thursday evening.

A fire damaged a garage behind a house on Tombras Avenue and a carport around the corner on Greenbriar Road, Thursday evening.

Officials said the call came in at about 8 p.m. for a structure fire at 2005 Tombras Avenue. Firefighters arrived and found a fire outside a garage behind the house between a fenced area along the property line with a house on Greenbriar.

It took less than five minutes for firefighter to extinguish the fire, said Chief Mike Williams. No injuries were reported.

Chief Williams said that a firefighter from the department lives down the street on Greenbriar and saw flames. It was firefighter Travis Ezell who ran to the quadraplex at 4237 Greenbriar and alerted residents to the blaze.

“We didn’t even realize anything was burning,” said a woman who lives in one of the quadraplex units, who did not want to give her name. “I can’t commend the firefighters and police officers enough. They were fabulous.”

Officials said the apparent origin of the fire was outside of a freestanding garage on the back of the property on Tombras Avenue. It may have been fueled by a wooden fence that ran adjacent to the back side property on Greenbriar. The flames spread to the carport on Greenbriar and also a truck that was parked underneath, officials said.

There was a fire several years ago reported at the same address, officials said. The cause of the Thursday evening fire is under investigation.
