Flames shoot into air from garage in Eagle Springs

Published on

A two-vehicle garage burst into flames on Saturday night along the 500 block of Martin Road near Eagle Springs. Agencies from both Moore County and Montgomery County responded to the scene.

Our camera caught heavy flames shooting from the garage as firefighters arrived on scene. Several propane tanks also caught fire making matters worse for crews trying to extinguish the blaze.

The flames also caused heavy damage to a breezeway leading from the garage to a house. The house did sustain some heat and smoke damage, but lucky firefighters were able to prevent the spread of flames to the two-story home.

All of the occupants of the house were able to safely get out, and no injuries were reported during the incident.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
