Fire Destroys Garage, Cars, and Motorcycle
Omaha, NE - A fire shoots up out of the garage of an Omaha home.
Firefighters rushed to the scene at 3042 South 108th Street stopping
flames from spreading to neighboring homes.
A garage consumed by flames and smoke. Firefighters rush to put it
out. The homeowner, Wendy Olson watches and is overwhelmed by what
she sees in front of her. "It was just, totally just engulfed in
flames," said homeowner, Wendy Olson.
Fast action by neighbors helped Olson and her family get out of the
house in case the fire spread. "People were pounding on the door
saying there's a fire," said Olson.
"I looked out the kitchen window and flames started shooting up. The
dog was kind of whimpering over here," said a neighbor.
Parts of the garage collapsed. Charcoal skeletons of two cars and a
motorcycle lay under the burnt wood. The loss hits Olson hard. A
month ago, she made the tough financial decision to take her vehicles
off full coverage insurance, only keeping them under liability. "A
brand new Prius, a Harley, a Honda, an Austin Healey," said Olson.
Olson tries to think positive, knowing her loved ones and pets are
safe. Firefighters tell Action 3 News, her family is extremely lucky.
"If the wind was right, it could have very well spread to the house,"
said Olson.
A neighbor did happen to save one of the Olson's cars from the fire.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
