SOUTHGATE — A garage fire that occurred on the night of Feb. 24 in the 13200 block of Walnut Street may have been caused by a gas-powered generator.
Police officers, who arrived at the scene before the fire department, found the garage roof already fully engulfed in flames.
The resident said he shut off the generator about an hour before the fire occurred. Residual heat may have caused the fire, which is believed to be accidental in nature.
