The fire was first reported around 10:05 p.m. Friday night at Prime Storage on Tyburn Road just off Route 13.

Firefighters arrived and quickly put down the flames before they spread throughout the additional units in the multiple building complex.

The fire marshal said his investigation has yet been able to determine the exact cause of the blaze.

Due to a lack of fire hydrants in the area, crews had to pull water from on-truck tanks to douse the flames.

No employees were at the self Storage business at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported among responders.
