Two firefighters were treated on the scene after responding to and extinguishing a fire this morning on Honeysuckle Hill Lane in Easton.

The Easton Police Department received a 911 call at 8 o’clock from the homeowner, reporting smoke in the residence, according to Police Chief Richard Doyle.

The Easton Fire Department responded and quickly extinguished the fire that had started in the garage. The Easton Emergency Medical Service also responded to the scene, along with the police and firefighters.

“Two firefighters were treated by the EMS on the scene,” Doyle said. “One was for heat exhaustion and one received a minor laceration to the finger.”

Doyle referred further comment to Fire Chief Steve Waugh and the fire marshals who are still on the scene, investigating.
