Merrill firefighters were able to keep a car fire from spreading to a home.
Around 2:30 a.m. Monday, the Merrill Fire Department was called to the fire near a home on River Road in the Town of Merrill.
The fire spread to a nearby deluxe ice shanty/camper and part of a garage attached to a home.
Firefighters were able to knock down the fire and keep it from spreading into the house.
The owner heard a noise that morning and discovered the fire, likely preventing things from getting much worse.
Firefighters did return to the scene later in the morning when the ice shanty reignited.
