Richmond fire damages cars, garage

RICHMOND – Three vehicles and a detached garage were heavily damaged during a structure fire Wednesday morning in Richmond, according to the Richmond Township Fire Protection District.

Crews were called to the 11200 block of Lakeview Road at around midnight for a report of a structure fire, according to a news release. Crews arrived to find a detached garage fully engulfed in flames.

The garage had three vehicles inside and a workshop attached to the back of the building, fire officials said. The fire appears to have started near a wood burning stove that was in use in the workshop.
