A residential garage in Prineville caught fire late Monday, causing approximately $30,000 in damage, according to Crook County Fire & Rescue.

Fire Marshal Casey Kump wrote in a news release Tuesday that the fire, reported at about 11 p.m. Monday, was extinguished quickly by fire crews before extending into the living areas of the home. The home was empty at the time.

The cause of the fire was determined to be deck stain and other materials that were spilled on the rug earlier that day. A neighbor reported hearing an aerosol can explode, Kump wrote. No one was displaced as a result of the fire, Kump wrote.
