Officials say the garages were destroyed by fire, along with two vehicles. Both units sustained minimal fire damage in the housing areas due to the rapid attack and fire extinguishment by fire personnel, but did experience smoke and water damage on all levels. The attics of both units experienced fire damage.
The fire was determined to be linked to a construction waste container which was located just outside of the garage.
