A San Diego Fire-Rescue Department crew Thursday put out a blaze that started in one unit of a multi-bay residential garage in South Park, officials said.

Just after 6:30 a.m. firefighters arrived at the garage, in the 2000 block of 30th Street and found heavy smoke issuing from one of the bays, SDFRD Battalion Chief John Fisher told OnSceneTV.

By 6:54 a.m., they had the blaze under control, preventing it from spreading to nearby residences, according to a spokeswoman, Monica Munoz.

There were no injuries, another battalion chief said. The cause of the blaze was under investigation. Residents of the neighborhood told firefighters that people sometimes appeared to be living in the space that caught fire, Fisher said.
