Electric car may have started Regina garage fire

An electric car may have been the cause of a mid-day garage fire in Regina on Sunday.

Crews were called out around noon to 42 Fletcher Place in the University Park area where an attached garage was on fire.

Everyone was able to get out of the house alright.

Crews attacked the flames quickly when they arrived and were able to stop the fire from moving into the rest of the house.

The homeowner said an electric car was in the garage and had started the fire, but Regina Fire & Protective Services said it hadn’t verified that yet.

An investigator will be looking into the fire this week.
