PICTURED: Willenhall blaze destroys garage at family home
[gallery] A garage at a family home in Willenhall has been left gutted after a serious blaze last night.
Fire crews were called to the property on Waite Road, Portobello, at around 11.30pm on Sunday evening.
The blaze, which was attended by fifteen firefighters at its peak, left the inside of the garage ruined but luckily did not spread to inside the home.
Pictures from the scene show deformed fittings, blackened walls and fire-damaged debris strewn across the floor.
The family were inside the house when the fire took hold but all got out safely and were unharmed.
Fire engines from Willenhall, Bilston and Fallings Park stations attended the scene, with the final firefighters leaving the scene at around 2am.
Willenhall Fire Station Crew Commander Trev Allers said: "The garage is damaged but the house is OK barring a little bit of smoke damage.
"The family was inside the property at the time of the fire, but everyone got out safely and nobody was injured.
"We returned to the scene early at 7am Monday morning to clarify that everything was OK. The job was made safe."
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
