County Fire Chief Louis J. Bloom estimated damage at $12.000 to the equipment and materials inside, and $5,000 to the building. The alarm was turned in by an unidentified resident of Forest Knolls when ap late glass window in the front of the garage was blown out by the heat inside. One fire was burning in a corner of the building, another under a work bench, and a third in an area where painting materials were kept, said Chief Bloom. The garage operator, Roney Roberson of San Geronimo, reported anonymous phone calls last September in which a male voice threatened to set the garage on fire.

Someone broke a rear window in the garage last week. Chief Bloom said. Roberson, who leased the building from John Helms of San Rafael, told Bloom he had worked at the garage most of the day and left just after 6 p.m. The call to the Tanzi home caused county firemen to fear 86-year-old Mrs. Rachel Tanzi might be trapped inside.

They were relieved to learn she was safe at the home of a son, Wesley, in Lagunitas. She had moved out of the old home only a few days ago. The all-wood, eight-room house was said Chief Bloom, who estimated the loss at $26,000. By the time firemen arrived fire was already shooting through the roof and windows of the top story. Firemen struggled up an old foot path to the house to get the blaze under control.

Six trucks were called and one was still standing by at the fire scene this morning. As the firemen mopped up late last night they found that the house was occupied after all. Mrs. pet rooster had somehow survived the fire in what was left of a room on the top floor. Wesley Tanzi said the house was at least 70 years old.
