It is a blow close to Christmas for the owners of Warwick Auto Service. Warwick Fire Chief Brad Goodhill says around 1 pm Tuesday, owner Rob Nethercott was finishing his lunch when he heard a sound from the garage. He looked to find flames shooting up around two cars in the bays. Firefighters from three departments, Warwick, Watford and Wyoming put out the flames. The Northcott’s home is attached to the London Line business, but Goodhill says a concrete barrier wall between the garage and the home prevented the flames from spreading into the house. Goodhill says damage to the garage is extensive.
