The fire spread quickly to homes, but firefighters were able to contain flames to the three garages and two houses.
The fire caused extensive damage at one home and moderate damage at the other.
One firefighter suffered a burn injury, but no other details on the condition were available. No other injuries were reported.
One Wroe Avenue resident whose home’s siding was damaged by heat from the flames said he had never seen anything like the fire.
“I went and looked out the kitchen window and it was just flames,” he said. “I ran and got everybody up.”
Investigators are working to determine what caused the fire.
