The Southern Door Fire Department responded to 7780 Naze Road, in the town of Forestville, just after 1:30 p.m. on June 15 for the report of a car fire inside a garage attached to a house. Upon arrival of the first unit, the garage was fully involved and spreading to the house. A good initial attack slowed the fire from consuming the house. There is extensive fire and smoke damage to the house. The garage and its contents are a total loss. A 500 gallon LP tank blew its safety valve and a water curtain was established to cool the tank and disperse the LP while it off-gassed. 

The occupant had just arrived home with the vehicle that started the fire and the fire originated in the engine compartment.  Approximately 25,000 gallons of water were used. SDFD was assisted by Brussels-Union-Gardner FD, Sturgeon Bay FD, Nasewaupee FD, Algoma FD, Casco FD, Door County Sheriff's Department, Door County EMS and the Door County Communications Center. The scene was cleared just after 4:00 p.m.

Thank you for Cheif Olson for the update and to all the departments for everything they do.
