Regina Fire Services said the homeowner indicated that an electric car had caught fire, a blaze which then spread to the garage. Fire teams were on the scene within minutes, however, and prevented further damage. “It didn’t take us long to take control of the fire,” deputy fire chief Layne Jackson said. “The guys did a really quick attack on it. Nobody was hurt and we were able to keep it isolated to the garage and keep it from spreading into the house.” An investigation into the fire is ongoing, Jackson said.
