As quick as it blew, fire in garage goes out. Fire was in rear addition in the Bravo / Charlie corner. Fire burned into attic space of main house and traveled across to a breezeway between house and garage. Fire NEVER communicated to garage other than flash fire / EXPLOSION!! House was premanufactured and had sheetrock ceilings with plywood glued under it. No civilian or Firefighter injuries.
