Columbus firefighters battled a blaze in the detached garage of a vacant home early Sunday morning.

Capt. Mike Wilson, spokesman for the fire department, says that firefighters were called to the home in the 900 block of California Street at just before 12:25 a.m. Sunday morning and found the garage fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters quickly knocked out the flames using hand lines.

The garage was a complete loss and the heat of the fire damaged neighboring garages and the vinyl siding on nearby homes, Wilson said.

Damages are estimated at $15,000 and there were no injuries.
