Firefighters from Wayland and Yankee Springs fire departments responded to a garage fire at 428 Tyler Road Wayland Township on Memorial Day, Wayland’s Deputy Fire Chief Dan Miller reported.

Two vehicles were lost in the fire.
 

Firefighters fought the blaze that had spread to the house and also contained a grass fire caused by strong winds carrying burning debris into the grass and brush, Miller said. The home was occupied at the 4 p.m. fire; there were no injuries to either family or firefighters. The fire is still under investigation and no dollar amount of loss has been set, Miller said.

Mutual aid came from Hopkins and Martin fire departments, Thornapple Township Emergency Services, Wayland Area EMS and the Allegan County Sheriff’s Office. Hopkins moved a fire engine and personnel to cover the Wayland station.

“We thank everybody who assisted in this incident as well as Allegan and Barry Central Dispatch Centers for their help, too,” Miller said.
