A fire in an Easton garage, was reportedly started by a kiln.

The Maryland State Fire Marshal’s Office says the homeowner found the flames around 4:30 AM on Thursday in a detached two car garage on Dover Road. Twenty five firefighters from Easton, Preston, and Trappe reportedly responded, and had the blaze under control in a half hour.

Investigators say the fire has been ruled as accidental and started inside of the garage, by a kiln. There were apparently combustibles too close to the kiln.
