Oliver Fire Department was on scene to quickly put out an early morning blaze behind Mike’s Automotive on Highway 97.

“The fire was extinguished quickly,” said Oliver fire chief Bob Graham.

“The crew was probably on the scene for an hour and a half.”

The fire was reported around 5 a.m. on March 14, in a storage building behind Mike’s automotive. A vehicle was inside the building at the time of the fire, and both were damaged by the flames.
