Firefighters respond to garage fire on 150

A Tuesday morning garage fire brought Galesburg firefighters and police officers to a residence on U.S. Highway 150.

Emergency personnel responded to the 600 block of 150 – across the street from what was City Limits Steakhouse just before five-o’clock.

According to police reports, a man there told officers he had been using a wood burner in the garage earlier but left it unattended.

It was after he went outside to investigate a car honking that he saw a large amount of smoke coming from the garage.

He advised officers he used buckets of water to extinguish the flames after dialing for 911.

Officers noted that the wood burner to be hastily made and sitting in close proximity to the fiberboard installed in the garage.

A Galesburg Fire Department investigator had been called on scene.
