Saturday afternoon, shortly after 1pm, Altona/Rhineland Emergency Services (ARES) was called to a structure fire on the north side of 6th Avenue North East, near the corner of 4th Street North East.
According to Deputy Chief Mark Krahn when crews arrived they found a detached garage, located on the property's backyard, on fire.
"We were able to quickly extinguish the flames," he indicated to PembinaValleyOnline. "The building sustained damage to the roof."
He noted a quick thinking neighbour used a garden hose to keep the flames from spreading.
