A fire broke out in the detached garage of a Highland Park residence on Thursday afternoon.

Local firefighters responded to a call from the homeowner about the fire at 2:15 p.m. and arrived on the scene in the 4500 block of Belfort Place to see smoke coming from the single-story garage building, said Lance Koppa, the public information officer for the Highland Park DPS.

Upon their arrival, the firefighters were able to distinguish the fire, and there were no reported injuries to them or the resident, Koppa said.

"The fire appears at this time to have been caused by an aromatic lamp, which was knocked over and ignited some nearby paint equipment," Koppa said.

This detached garage fire follows another one that happened in Highland Park on Sunday.
