ONEKAMA -- A large garage is destroyed by fire in Manistee County.

Crews were in the Onekama area responding to a downed wire around 6:30 a.m. Monday when they saw smoke about a 1/4 mile away.   The garage on the 8-thousand block of Oakdale was fully engulfed when they arrived.

Investigators believe the fire started with an electrical issue and was fueled by a propane tank in the building.   A seasonal home nearby was not damaged.

Fire crews from Onekama, Bear Lake and Arcadia fought the blaze for about an hour and a half.
