Ottawa firefighters were called to a detached garage at 143 Marier St. at about 2:30 a.m.

The building was used as a music group’s storage and rehearsal spot.

Responders issued a second alarm on the blaze at 143 Marier St. shortly before 3 a.m. because the garage was less than one foot from a second garage that had apartments upstairs.

The fire was brought under control within about 15 minutes.

There were no injuries but firefighters were unable to save an estimated $50,000 worth of musical gear.
