Steinbach firefighters responded to a garage fire at 4:30 Monday afternoon. Crews were called to the corner of Reimer Avenue and Third Street William Pangman, who rents the home, describes what prompted him to call 9-1-1.

"I noticed that the fire started because someone was honking outside my house," notes Pangman. "So I went to go look to see what was going on and there was smoke blowing. So I came running out and when I came running out I noticed that the garage was lit on fire and I just got my family out as quick as I could."

Pangman says it feels surreal. He notes it's something you read about in the newspaper or see on television but you never expect it to happen to you.

Crews expect to be on scene well into the evening as the fire spread from the garage to the house. There were no injuries. More details are anticipated Tuesday morning.
