BERKLEY — A fire in Berkley almost destroyed a garage, but nearby DTE Energy workers were able to assist in preventing the blaze from spreading.

Police were notified of a downed power line on top of a garage, and that sparking and smoke was seen at the structure. Workers from DTE Energy also were in the area for a separate call. “Some wind that had come through and knocked a tree down, and they were responding to the area, to that downed power line and pole,” Berkley Public Safety Detective Lt. Andrew Hadfield said.
