Firefighters put out a garage fire at the former home of Kurt Cobain early Wednesday.

A small fire burned in the garage at the home along Lake Washington Boulevard East and East Denny Blaine Place, KIRO 7 reports.

Cobain was found dead in an apartment above the garage in 1994. That garage was torn down years ago following his death.

Crews knocked down the small fire quickly before it spread to the house.

Since Cobain’s death, the 7,000-square-foot home worth $4.8 million has changed hands several times.
