EDWARDS -- A late afternoon fire on Christmas Day in the Town of Edwards destroyed a garage and a pickup truck at a Talcville Road house.

The fire brought in firefighters from Edwards, Gouverneur, Hermon and Russell to the Talcville Road at about 5 p.m. They found the garage with a pickup truck inside fully involved with fire, according to Joe Lacks of the Edwards Volunteer Fire Deaprtment.

The house was only ten feet away from the blazing garage, but firefighters limited the damage to the house to the exterior.

Minor damage occurred at a neighbor’s house with exterior heat damage.

No injuries were reported.
