Garage, Vehicles Destroyed by Fire in East Lyme

A garage and several vehicles were destroyed by a fire at a home on Old Black Point Road in East Lyme. 

Police said fire was in the area of 106 Old Black Point Road.

According to East Lyme Fire Marshal Richard Morris, around 7 a.m. a neighbor saw smoke coming from the property and rushed over to wake the residents up.

The two residents of the home got out safely. It took firefighters about a half hour to put the fire out. No injuries were reported.

Four vehicles, including an antique car and a 40-foot camper, were totaled and the garage destroyed.

East Lyme Public Safety warned that residents in the area may see discolored water because of the amount of water drawn to fight the fire. Officials said the discolored water was not a health hazard but it could stain laundry.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, but Morris said his office was looking at electrical issues in the vehicles and electrical service in the garage.
