Fire damages garage of Newport home

A garage fire caused about $20,000 in damage to a Newport Beach home

Tuesday afternoon, officials said.

Firefighters responded to the call that came from a home in the 1400

block of Warwick Lane about 2:45 p.m., said Newport Beach Fire Capt. John

Blauer.

Three engines, a truck, a paramedic engine and a battalion chief

responded to the single-alarm fire and brought it under control in less

than 20 minutes, he said. The garage suffered moderate damage, and there

was “light smoke throughout the house,” Blauer said. No one was hurt in

the fire.

Blauer said the cause of the fire is still under investigation but

that it “does not seem to be suspicious.”
