A garage was a total loss from an early Sunday morning fire in Perry.

Perry Fire Chief Chris Hinds tells Raccoon Valley Radio they responded to the call at 532 3rd Street at 3:45am. He says when they arrived on scene, the garage was completely burned down and a Jeep Cherokee that was inside was still on fire. Hinds notes a nearby utility pole was also on fire and brought down some power lines, and the fire had crossed an alleyway and caught a mobile home on fire and a garage to the south was catching on fire. 

Hinds says fire crews were able to stop the fire from spreading further, but the garage at 532 3rd Street and the Jeep were total losses, the vinyl siding of the mobile home and the garage to the south had siding and styrofoam insulation damage.

Hinds points out that no one was inside the garage at the time of the fire and no one was hurt. The cause remains under investigation and the Perry Police and Dallas EMS assisted at the scene. Raccoon Valley Radio will bring you more information as it becomes official.
