The cause remained under investigation as of Saturday morning, Dippolito said.
The 20-foot by 12-foot shed was slated to be demolished as part of an approved 51-unit senior housing facility that will be constructed at the site.
In addition to the Third District Fire Company, the Edgely and Newportville fire companies responded.
