An Alexandra garage-sleep-out was gutted by fire last night.

Alexandra Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Russell Anderson said the suspected cause was a clothes dryer but fire safety officers would investigate this morning.

The Alexandra Volunteer Fire Brigade was called to the rental house in Kenmare St just after 6pm to find the fire ‘‘well involved’’, Senior Station Officer Glen Gray said.

All the residents were in the house when the fire broke out.
