WEST HARTFORD, CT — Local firefighters swarmed a garage fire on Taylor Road late Saturday morning that damaged a fence and a neighbor's home.

According to the West Hartford Fire Department, at about 10:55 a.m. Saturday, the WHFD was called to a reported "outside fire" on Taylor Road.

The WHFD said units started arriving at 10:59 a.m. and discovered that a single-cear, detached garage behind a residence was fully engulfed in flames.

Firefighters said flames had spread to a fence and, then, a neighbor's home.

"Firefighters quickly placed hoselines to protect exposed property and extinguished all fire, limiting further damage," wrote West Hartford FD Deputy Chief James Silver in a statement Saturday afternoon.

Authorities said one homeowner suffered a minor injury and refused medical care and the fire is under investigation by the West Hartford Fire Marshal's office.
