A garage incurred heavy damage in a fire Saturday afternoon in Falls City. The Falls City Fire Department reports receiving a call to a garage fire at 1524 Fair Avenue shortly before 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon.

Officials say the boxes contained electrical equipment. The fire caused significant damage to the main floor of the garage as well as to the rafters. A nearby home, just three feet away from the garage, was not damaged. A total of 20 firefighters from the Falls City Volunteer and Falls City Rural Fire Departments responded to the fire.
