> Omaha, NE - A fire shoots up out of the garage of an Omaha home.
> Firefighters rushed to the scene at 3042 South 108th Street stopping

> flames," said homeowner, Wendy Olson.
>
> Fast action by neighbors helped Olson and her family get out of the
> house in case the fire spread. "People were pounding on the door
> saying there's a fire," said Olson.
>
> "I looked out the kitchen window and flames started shooting up. The
> dog was kind of whimpering over here," said a neighbor.
>
> Parts of the garage collapsed. Charcoal skeletons of two cars and a
> motorcycle lay under the burnt wood. The loss hits Olson hard. A
> month ago, she made the tough financial decision to take her vehicles
> off full coverage insurance, only keeping them under liability. "A
> brand new Prius, a Harley, a Honda, an Austin Healey," said Olson.
>
> Olson tries to think positive, knowing her loved ones and pets are
> safe. Firefighters tell Action 3 News, her family is extremely lucky.
> "If the wind was right, it could have very well spread to the house,"
> said Olson.
>
> A neighbor did happen to save one of the Olson's cars from the fire.
> The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
