While checking out a fire in Lake Station that I had missed a dark header was visible just south of Ridge Rd and I-65 then Gary toned out for a reported still alarm at 1331 East 50th Place. It was quite evident there was a working fire from where I was. Engine 5 being first on scene advised of a working fire in an attached garage to a 2 story frame dwelling. Thankfully there was a hydrant right by the fire and a water source was established. Multiple lines were stretched and the fire was brought under control without injuries. One exposure suffered damage and nobody was in the original fire building.
