NEW: West Norman fire damages garage, car, motorcycle


A fire in west Norman destroyed a motorcycle and car parked inside a garage. There were no injuries.

The blaze, shortly after 2 p.m., at 500 Edwards Drive was quickly extinguished and confined to the garage. Fire Chief James Fullingim said three engines and a district chief were dispatched to the scene.

No cause or damage estimate was immediately available.

The home’s owner, Ken McMillen, was away from the house when the fire broke out. A neighbor saw smoke and fire coming from the garage and alerted the fire department.

The blaze destroyed a custom motorcycle and a 1990 Mercedes 560 SEL. Firefighters rescued McMillen’s dog, Spanky.

“I appreciate whomever got him out,” McMillen said.
