A homeowner in Marseilles smelled smoke and opened the door to the garage to find it out was on fire.
Mayor and Deputy Chief Jim Hollenbeck says the fire department arrived at the home at 675 Oak Court on Saturday evening around 7:30.
Hollenbeck says the fire department was able to keep the fire from reaching into the home and had it knocked down in about 15 minutes.
He says there is about $50,000 in damages.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
