Garage destroyed by fire in Great Falls

Great Falls Fire Rescue said in a news release that a garage was destroyed by fire on Friday, January 16, 2026.

The agency said firefighters responded just before 11 p.m. to a residence at 1219 Ninth Avenue South.

D-platoon arrived to find the detached garage "fully involved" in flames.

Crews worked to extinguish the flames from the exterior of the garage; however, the roof collapsed within 10 minutes, making the extinguishment of the fire extremely difficult.

With the roof collapse, D-platoon took defensive measures, which led to crews remaining on the scene for most of the night.

No injuries were reported; the cause of the fire is being investigated.
