It's been a busy start to the week for Carman-Dufferin fire fighters.
They were just one of several crews who battled a dairy barn blaze in Haywood late Monday morning, logging about 8 hours by the time they cleaned up the arena and returned to the fire hall, noted Deputy Fire Chief Joey McElroy.
Then at 10:45 that evening, they were called back out to a detached garage fire in Carman where they spent another 4 hours putting out the flames.
"When we got there, the flames were quite high," explained McElroy. "There was a pretty good concern of it spreading to a close garage, but we were able to contain it before it spread anywhere."
McElroy reported some nearby buildings did sustain some minor damage.
There were no occupants in the garage at the time of blaze, according to McElroy, and he said those who lived in the house on the property were okay.
As of interview time, the scene was still secured until the Office of the Fire Commissioner could come out and investigate.
