Fire crews had an early start this morning with two incidents reported to Indiana County 911.
The first call was for a structure fire at a home along Private Road 6028 in Green Township around 5:41 this morning. Commodore, Cherry Tree, Clymer and Hope fire departments were dispatched along with Citizens’ Ambulance.
Commodore fire officials report no injuries, as the only occupant of the home made it out safely prior to their arrival. They add the home suffered some heat, smoke and minor water damage, but crews were able to contain the fire to the attached garage. All units were on scene until 7:30 a.m.
Officials say the cause of the fire was a car in the garage, but the exact cause is not known at this time. They say this fire was an example of why they suggest residents to keep their doors closed between houses and garages. They also suggest closing bedroom doors at night.

The second call was for a vehicle fire that sent Armagh/East Wheatfield fire crews to Indiana Street in Armagh Borough around 7 a.m. No details are available on this incident.
