A house fire on 1113 Central Road was contained with minimal damage to the home, according to Hamilton County Emergency Services Public Information Officer Amy Maxwell.
At 6 p.m. the Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to the fire and upon arrival fire fighters found the garage and two cars on fire, she said.
The fire was quickly contained from spreading into the house and was extinguished, Maxwell said.
Wayne Pendergrass, the homeowner, was in the home when the fire occurred until a neighbor alerted him of the fire, Maxwell said.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but it appears it started inside one of the cars. The blaze damaged the garage and two cars, but two antique cars also stored inside the garage were not damaged, Maxwell said.
