Fire Chief: Owner had a lot of classic cars

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Firefighters were called to a garage fire in Mandarin on Burning Tree Lane Friday night.

Firefighters say when they arrived, they saw heavy flames in the garage.

"Looks like the owners here had a lot of vehicles... looks like a lot of classic cars, we really don't know," said Jacksonville Fire & Rescue Chief Roger Lewis.

Lewis said none of the cars were moved, so authorities can look further into what caused the fire.

The fire marshal is looking into the cause of the fire.
