Janesville firefighters are investigating a blaze which heavily damaged a home on North Lexington Drive early Thursday night.  Battalion Chief Ron Bomkamp says the fire started in the two car garage and spread to the house.  It’s not considered suspicious and a space heater in the garage is a possible source.  Bomkamp says the four adults living at the single story home escaped safely before firefighters arrived.  Damage estimates are around $80 thousand for the structure, and $40 thousand.
