The Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department battled a blaze in a storage building Tuesday afternoon.
Firefighters responded to a call that a 20x30 foot storage building was on fire in the 1400 block of Thrasher Pike, according to Amy Maxwell with Hamilton County Emergency Services.
Maxwell explained that firefighters reported a second storage building also caught fire.
Fire officials said a vehicle started the fire. The owner of the vehicle said he was trying to start the vehicle when the fire broke out and spread to a storage building.
One of the structures is a total loss. The adjacent storage building was saved and with minimal damage.
No one was injured. Damages are estimated at around $6,000.
