At approximately 11 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 29, a crew of more than two dozen members of the Water Witch Volunteer Fire Company responded to a large garage fire in the 700 block of Jacob Tome Highway in Port Deposit.

Upon arrival, fire officials said that they found a large garage fully engulfed in flames that took approximately an hour to control, though crews remained at the scene for several hours to overhaul any hotspots that flared up.

The 32-foot by 36-foot garage and its contents were completely destroyed as well as three vehicles, according to the fire marshal.

It caused an estimated $250,000 ($100,000 to the structure, $150,000 to its contents) in damages.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
