(KLZA)-- The Falls City Volunteer Fire Department and members of the Falls City Rural Fire Department responded to a garage fire at 2402 Abbott Street in Falls City shortly before noon on Saturday. The owner of the garage is Monty Kroeze.

A passing motorist called the fire in. When firefighters arrived the fire could be seen on the east side of the garage burning up to the eve and the roof where it later broke through. There was no one home at the time and no injuries were reported.

The State Fire Marshall was called to investigate the cause due to the heavy fire damage. It appears the fire started outside the garage along the alley side, but remain under investigation. The cause of the fire is currently listed as undetermined.

A release from the Falls City Volunteer Fire Department says the damage was estimated to be in the neighborhood of $50 thousand due to the structural damage and the loss of personal property stored inside.

Fire fighters remained on the scene for approximately four-and-a-half hours.

The Falls City Volunteer Ambulance Squad and the Falls City Utility Department also responded to the scene of the fire.
