She said the garage was a single-story, 5m by 5m building, which was not attached to a house.
The spokeswoman said crews went out to reinspect the area on Sunday morning to make sure it was safe.
Nine-year-old James Underwood, who lives nearby, photographed the scene.
He said: "The day was very normal but in the afternoon there was a petrifying surprise.
"I was watching TV when there was a big boom. The garage on the other side of the road was on fire.
"By 5.34pm there was barely anything left."
