Nearly a dozen crews rushed to the 1900 block of Konkle Road in Loyalsock Township shortly after midnight on Sunday for a “fully involved” garage fire.

First on scene personnel reported "heavy fire and smoke" from the garage, according to 911 dispatch transmissions.

Just minutes later, it was reported that the fire had spread to an attached single-story ranch-style home, with a second alarm declared at 12:24 a.m., bringing in additional manpower.

The bulk of the fire was reportedly knocked down by just after 12:30 a.m., according to scanner reports.

Fire crews from Loyalsock, Montoursville, South Williamsport, Hughesville, Williamsport, Citizen’s Hose in Jersey Shore, Nisbet and Hepburn, Eldred, Woodward and Old Lycoming townships responded to the blaze.

Additionally, PPL and the American Red Cross were called to the scene.
