Damage was reported to the exterior siding of the garage.

Residents reportedly had a campfire earlier in the evening. After putting water on the fire, they thought it was extinguished and went inside. The winds from a storm reportedly caused embers from the campfire to blow into a wood pile that was stacked against the back of the garage.

Albert Lea police and Gold Cross ambulance crews assisted on scene.
