Fire crews tended to a garage fire at a Barrie home just north of the downtown area Friday night.

According to Justin Gilbert, the city’s deputy fire chief, the call came in at around 9 p.m. and property management personnel were on site at the McDonald Street home as the incident happened.

The fire was contained in the detached garage and quickly extinguished. No injuries were reported.

The cause of it remains undetermined but Gilbert told CTV News there is ‘not sufficient’ information to deem it suspicious. Therefore, Barrie police and the Ontario Fire Marshal will not be taking further action.
