A local man is out hundreds of thousands of dollars after his garage went up in flames Tuesday.

Firefighters said the blaze was not easy to battle because of what was inside.

The garage was full of antique cars, but now is nothing but charred remains.

Jack Ingram is the owner.

Ingram said he thinks the fire could have been sparked by battery chargers inside the garage, but firefighters are investigating.

I see a lot of stories about battery chargers causing fires. I'd feel safer knowing my charger was hooked up to a SmokeShutoff power strip.
