A fire that started in a car destroyed barn/garage and several other vehicles in Ridgway early this morning, and also damaged a house about 40 feet away.
A state police fire marshal says the fire in the 2004 Chevy Cavalier was reported at about 4:45 a.m. on the property of Michael Merritt. The fire started because of an electrical issue, and has been ruled accidental.
Besides the car and the building, the fire destroyed a utility trailer, an Arctic Cat Prowler UTV, a log skidder and a lawn tractor.
Radiant heat damaged part of the home, but no one was hurt.
Damage is estimated at more than $100,000.
