Fire ripped through an alleyway garage Friday evening at the rear of 1718 Willis Ave. in Perry.

There were no known injuries to the occupants of the house.

The Perry Volunteer Fire Department stopped the blaze from spreading to neighboring structures but not before it completely consumed the garage. Several nearby vehicles were also destroyed.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this hour. It was reported about 6:45 p.m.

The property is owned by Anthony and Lourdes Sweet of Perry, according to county records. The house dates from 1914, and the 780-square-foot garage was built in 1978.

The Bouton, Dawson and Woodward Volunteer Fire Departments responded with mutual aid. The Perry Police Department, Dallas County Sheriff’s office and Dallas County EMS also responded.
