A detached garage next to an apartment building in Oceanside went up in flames early Tuesday, displacing 10 people and causing $150,000 in damage, authorities said.

The non-injury fire at 4135 Baycliff Way was reported at 12:04 a.m. and crews declared it under control at 12:36 a.m., according to Oceanside Fire Battalion Chief Bill Kogerman.

“The fire destroyed the garage, damaged one vehicle and caused minor damage to the adjacent apartment building,” he said in a statement, adding damage was estimated at $150,000.

The cause was under investigation.

Ten people displaced by the fire were receiving housing assistance from relatives and the American Red Cross, Kogerman said.
