Dry conditions contribute to Aurora garage fire
Aurora fire officials said Monday that dry conditions played a role in a weekend garage fire.
City dispatchers received a 911 call from a utility worker who reported the fire at 2:41 p.m. Saturday. The fire started on the exterior of a garage attached to a two-story home on the 1200 block of Deerpath Circle.
The utility worker retrieved a fire extinguisher from his truck and was able to put out some of the fire.
