Firefighters in Gig Harbor battled a brushfire that spread to a garage and caused extensive property damage Saturday night, leading to a garage fire.

At about 10 p.m., firefighters with Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One responded to reports of a fire in the 600 block of 37th Avenue NW."I saw the glow and thought at first my neighbors were just working in the yard," said neighbor Crystal Bentley. "I quickly realized it was a fire, and it was spreading. It was scary, and I was concerned about my neighbor's house and I immediately called 911.

Firefighters worked to put out the fire, saving a nearby RV and main house from catching fire."A chicken coop did catch fire," said Langlow. "We were able to return six of them to extended family members. The good news here is that there were no injuries to civilians or firefighters."FOX 13 Seattle has learned the homeowners are currently on vacation out of state and are in route home to assess the damage.
