Garage fire in Pitsburg seen from blocks away.

2nd fire in less than a week in the village of Pitsburg

PITSBURG, Darke Co. —

Firefighters could see flames and smoke from a garage fire late Sunday even before they left the fire house, according to officials.

Flames had heavily engulfed the structure in the 100 block of Harrison Street, which was about two block from the fire station.

Pitsburg Fire Chief Tal Mong said the roof of the detached garage had collapsed by the time they arrived on the scene around 11:55 p.m.

Fire crews called for a second alarm, as the flames threatened some other nearby structures, Mong said.

No injuries were reported and a damage estimate was not immediately available. No word of what may have caused the fire.
