Fire Marshal Kevin Dippolito said the 20-by-12-foot shed was well involved when blazebusters arrived and they began work to knock down the flames. The fire was put under control at 1:49 p.m.

The fire was an accident caused when a propane space heater ignited combustibles that were nearby, Dippolito said.

No injuries were reported.
