BETHLEHEM — A detached garage at the rear of  202 Glenmont Road was “fully involved” on Sunday at 2:42 p.m. after Bethlehem Police received a report of the structure fire.
Residents were able to leave their home without injury, according to a Sunday evening release from the Bethlehem Police Department.
