A detached garage was destroyed by a fire Tuesday afternoon on Teague Road outside Centralia, according to the Riverside Fire Authority.

A number of vehicles and the contents of the garage, including tools, were completely destroyed.

The fire was reported at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 300 block of Teague Road, Assistant Chief Rick Mack told The Chronicle.

When crews arrived, they found the garage on fire, scorching a nearby home. Firefighters were able to stop the fire from spreading further.

The owner was at a nearby property cutting hay at the time of the fire, Mack said.

“He didn’t have any idea of what could have caused the fire,” he said.

The fire is under investigation by the Chehalis Fire Department.
