10/22/16 - Mason garage fire, 1841 Tomlinson

Just after 3:20 AM on Saturday, October 22, 2016, a MABAS box alarm was dispatched for a garage fire at 1841 Tomlinson Rd. The Mason Fire Department was first due, with automatic aid dispatched from the Dansville and Leslie fire departments. On arrival, a small one car garage used for storage was fully involved with extension to an equal size garage on the "C" side and starting to extend to a home on the "B" side. The structure of origin had already started collapsing. Mason firefighters tended to the home first, then attacked the flames from both garages. The fire was quickly brought under control. The cause is under investigation, but considered suspicious.
