An early Wednesday morning fire tore through a garage and spread to another building before firefighters contained the blaze. The Grand Junction Fire Department was called to the fire at 3:05 a.m. on the 600 block of West Colorado Avenue. When crews arrived, the garage was engulfed by the fire, which was spreading to a nearby fence and a second garage-apartment. One firefighter was transported to a local hospital for a minor medical emergency. Both structures sustained extensive damage, but crews were able to save several nearby vehicles from damage. Residents of the properties let crews know that both structures were unoccupied.
