WILBRAHAM – Firefighters on Thursday extinguished a fire at 15 Pleasant View Road that extensively damaged the garage and a car inside it and caused smoke and water damage to part of the Cape Cod style home with dormers.
The owner was home when the fire broke out in the garage, but escaped unharmed. Firefighters rescued a cat from the house.
Firefighters said they were waiting for the state fire marshal to determine the cause of the blaze.
The heat of the fire caused a propane tank in the garage to rupture and explode, but the cause of the fire had not been determined. A car inside the garage was destroyed.
The Fire Department was assisted by mutual aid from East Longmeadow and Hampden. The Ludlow Fire Department responded and manned the Wilbraham fire station.
Firefighters responded to the fire shortly after noon. The fire was brought under control around 1 p.m.
