It took crews about 10 minutes today to extinguish a fire that damaged an attached garage at a coastal North County duplex.
The non-injury blaze in the 600 block of Hygeia Avenue in Leucadia was reported shortly after 2:30 p.m., said Deputy Chief Mike Daigle of the Encinitas Fire Department.
Firefighters were able to keep the flames from spreading into the living quarters of the structure, he said.
