A fire that erupted Wednesday in the garage of an East Hemet home caused major damage to the carport but not the main residence, though the occupants were displaced.
The non-injury blaze was reported at 1:10 p.m. in the 43600 block of Walden Way, near Chelsea Way, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
The agency said multiple county and Soboba Indian Reservation engine crews were sent to the location and encountered flames raging inside the two-car garage, attached to the residence via a breezeway.
Firefighters deployed inside and around the house, stopping the flames from penetrating the living quarters, according to reports from the scene.
The fire was declared fully contained at about 1 p.m.
The man and woman living in the home, whose identities were not disclosed, were displaced, along with their large dog, according to the fire department.
Red Cross personnel were requested to assist the victims with finding temporary alternate lodgings.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
