Garage Fires Damage Homes in Green Bay, Suffolk

Green Bay firefighters responded to two separate garage fires. In a fire on Shawano Avenue, flames spread from the garage into a wall and hidden spaces in the home; no one was injured, residents were able to stay, and damage was estimated at $20,000. One report attributed that fire to lithium-ion batteries, while another said its cause remained under investigation. In a separate east-side fire, flames reached the home’s interior, displacing one resident; a cat was found unharmed.
