The fire that destroyed a north Centralia garage yesterday seemed to have started with a propane space heater, according to Riverside Fire Authority.
Assistant Chief Rick Mack said the resident was in the house waiting for the heater on to warm up the garage and when he observed flames emitting from the appliance, he shut off the fuel supply.
The fire off the 1900 block of Harrison Avenue was extinguished before it spread to the rest of the home, but a car and other contents of the garage were burned.
Mack said the heater was the probable cause.
