Sorry to hear about his.

I'll just add that many of us store flammable liquids in our garages -- not just gas in a can, but spray cans, maybe flammable liquids in a glass jar... rags with various things on them... and cars with leaky gas vapor systems.

If the garage is attached to the house....

If you don't have sheetrock up on that old house/attached garage....
