A fire gutted a garage in Winchester early Friday morning.

A neighbor first noticed the detached building ablaze along McClure Road, near Casa Landa Way, and alerted the owners.

"It could have been a lot worse. It was detached from the house, but it could have been a lot worse, so we feel very lucky. We're OK. My wife and my daughter, our little dog - we're fine," John Cox said.

Cox called his garage a total loss.

Firefighter say the blaze apparently started in the back back attic area. They say the fire does not appear suspicious.
