Firefighters could be seen attacking the fire from the ground and the air. Officials said they were fighting the fire from three separate structures. They were able to control the fire in about an hour.

"Firefighters were 'defensive' meaning they fought the fire in the middle townhome from the outside. They were 'offensive' battling fire from the inside of the outer two townhomes," officials said on social media.
