Crews battle large fire with high flames, heavy smoke in Springfield

Flames were 10 feet high coming from a two-car garage fire Tuesday afternoon that temporarily shut down Summit Street in Springfield.

Heavy smoke could be seen across the city when crews were called shortly before 1 p.m. to the fire in the 1600 block of Summit Street.

The flames initially were about 10 feet high coming from the detached garage, and a vehicle inside was engulfed.

Firefighters were trying to keep the blaze from spreading to the home situated about 10 feet from the garage.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
