Police in Butte, Mont., say a fire that destroyed a detached garage earlier this week was intentionally set.
Capt. Doug Conway told The Montana Standard that officers are looking for a suspect in the fire, which was reported at about 5 a.m. Tuesday.
The garage was a total loss. No injuries were reported.
Conway wouldn’t say what was used to start the fire because the case is still under investigation.
