Firefighters from Howard responded to reports of a garage fire around 4:15 AM Saturday at 1726 Island Court.
When they arrived, they found smoke and flames coming from a detached two-car garage.
That garage was within eight feet of a story-story home on the same property.
Firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading, and contained it to the garage.
The owners of the home had numerous guests over; they were preparing for a wedding that Saturday afternoon.
There were no reported injuries in the fire.
Officials report that the garage and everything inside it seems to be a total loss.
No cause has been determined, and there was not an estimated dollar loss.
Four Howard Fire units responded to the fire with assistance from Suamico, Pulaski, Howard Police, and County Rescue.
