Fire officials released damage estimates today saying the roof of a single-family home located at 274 Cooke Road sustained $50,000 in damage.

Two other homes that were threatened by the fire did not sustain any monetary damages according to fire officials.

“Fire crews did an outstanding job in protecting these structures and saving them from the approaching brushfire,” said FSO Mainaga.
