PORTAGE (WKZO AM/FM) — Firefighters in Portage are estimating the damage to a home at $100,000 after a fire that was reported late Monday night on the city’s northwest side.
Fire crews were dispatched to 3540 Westcove Drive at about 11:20 and the first crews on the scene were confronted by heavy smoke and flames coming from the attached garage and a portion of the home.
By then the occupants had already escaped and crews were able to focus on battling the fire, which took 40 minutes to douse. They will be looking for the cause of the fire after the sun comes up and they can get a good look at the debris.
