(December 15, 2006) — An electrical fault in an extension cord sparked a fire last night that damaged a garage in a Greece residence, firefighters said this morning.

Firefighters with the Ridge Road Fire District were called to 3446 Mt. Read Blvd. about 7:40 p.m. yesterday and doused the blaze which was under control in ten minutes, said Battalion Chief Alan Bubel.

Although the fire was confined to the attached garage, the house sustained smoke damage, he said.

No one was injured in the fire; the lone occupant of the house escaped without injury, Bubel said.

Firefighters from Barnard Fire Department assisted at the scene, he said.
