was at the premises with six trucks and about ten men. A Sarasota County Deputy and Universal Security Patrol were present as well. The fire started in the front headlight of my car; the car is totaled. As the garage doors were closed, the fire was contained to the garage. However, there is severe smoke damage to the garage and its contents. The house will require cleaning from the ceilings to the floors because of fine ash on everything. At 0130 hours the premises was secured. (My wife presented freshly baked cookies to the fire crew as a “thank you.”) Later that morning calls were made to the homeowners and auto insurers. Actions you might consider: • Have a central alarm service • Have fire extinguishers in strategic locations throughout your residence • Pay attention to your respective Associations rules and regulations - for homeowners, overhead garage doors are to be closed at night.

I quickly arose and investigated the entire house (except the garage) and observed no evidence of a fire. Almost immediately we received a phone call indicating that the Fire Department was on its way: I told them to abort the trip as I did not see a fire. Then I called the security service to deactivate the alarm. As they were taking our information, for some reason, though not feeling any heat, I opened the door to the garage and was met by flames about five feet high; I slammed the door shut and handed the phone to my wife saying, “We need the Fire Department!” I rushed to the kitchen to retrieve a fire extinguisher, opened the door to the garage again and emptied the contents of the extinguisher at the base of the flames; the fire appeared to go out and I quickly shut the door. At this point, taking about five minutes, the Sarasota Fire Department
