NORWICH - A garage fire in Norwich was extinguished before the flames could reach the home it was attached to, but fire department officials say the garage received significant damage.

According to Norwich Fire Department Chief Jan Papelino, the department was dispatched to a garage fire Sunday morning at 52 Henry Street in the City of Norwich.

“The call came in at 6:51 yesterday morning, and it came in as a house fire,” said Papelino. “The first unit got there and reported heavy smoke.”
