A garage was destroyed off Sandy Hill Lane off Highway 40 Sunday morning. Columbia Falls Fire Chief Karl Weeks said the garage was full engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived on the scene.

No one was hurt in the blaze and the adjacent home, which was about 15 feet from the garage, was not damaged.

The call came in at 8:08 a.m. and firefighters were off the scene at 10:13 a.m. Thirteen firefighters responded to the fire.

The owner of the garage was apparently asleep when the blaze started and neighbors woke him up to tell him the garage was on fire.
