BERKELEY – Officials are investigating a house fire after getting reports of explosions coming from a garage.
At around 7:30 a.m. on February 14, multiple fire companies responded to a vacant home on Venezia Street in Holiday City.
The first units to arrive saw that there was a fire in the garage and shut off the gas to prevent it from spreading, according to the Manitou Park Fire Company.
