The fire was reported at 4:30 a.m. Sunday and occurred in the 600 block of Antelope Street South in Elkton, Assistant Sheriff Scott Sebring said.
“It was found that the owners of the home had parked their 2003 Ford Escape in their garage, which is attached to their home, at around 9:30 p.m. on (Saturday). They advised that they awoke to smoke in their home around 4:30 a.m.,” Sebring said.
