Firefighters unable to save garage

The Blankenship Fire Department and later the Columbia Falls Fire Department responded to a garage on fire on North Fork Road, two miles above the Ford Cabin near Polebridge, about 9:15 Monday night. The garage, which was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived on scene, was a total loss. A large propane tank was also engulfed. It didn't blow, but firefighters were forced to allow it to vent all night and into Tuesday.
