Five departments respond to fire
Firefighters from Cleburne, Alvarado, Burleson, Joshua and Keene responded to a Saturday fire in the 1800 block of County Road 909, according to Cleburne Fire Department reports.
The blaze involved a large storage building that was fully involved.
Several smaller garages that were attached to the main structure and a small residence about 20 feet away were not burned in the fire, according to reports.
Several of the garages contained vehicles, tools and other items.
A concrete fire wall separating the buildings apparently stemmed the spread of the fire, according to reports.
Two Airstream travel trailers were located in the large garage.
Another recreational vehicle, which was parked in front of the main garage, received some damage but did not burn, according to reports.
Firefighters reported no injuries from the fire but deemed both trailers and the contents of the garage a loss.
The cause of the fire remains to be determined, Lt. Russ Bassham of the Joshua Fire Department said.
