THUNDER BAY – Thunder Bay Fire Rescue report, “At shortly after 5:00AM this morning the homeowner at 153 Blanchard Street awoke and discovered smoke coming from the home’s attached single car garage.
Thunder Bay Fire & Rescue was dispatched and on arrival found significant smoke and fire in the garage.
Suppression operations gained control of the incident quickly.
