UPDATE ON SUNDAY'S FIRE

Local media outlets have reported that the fire that took place on Sunday on Royalton Center Road was confined to the garage where it damaged one vehicle and a farm tractor.

It was repair work on that tractor that caused the fire: Homeowner William Brown said he was using a stick welder in the garage to attach a plate to the 1975 Farmall tractor.

Fire investigators said they think the welder ignited a small amount of gasoline in the garage that spread through the structure.
