Firefighters responded to a fire that was confined to the garage area of a home in Coachella Tuesday morning.

The fire was reported just before 11:00 a.m. near the intersection of Calendula Avenue and Hibisco Street.

CAL FIRE confirmed the structure was a single-story, single-family dwelling. The first arriving unit reported smoke coming out of the house.
