When first responders arrived, the fire had spread to multiple vehicles and the surrounding structures.
The crew was able to extinguish the fire by 8:19 a.m.
Any residents were safely evacuated and no injuries were reported.
Neighboring fire departments from Flower Mound, Justin, Roanoke and the City of Denton also assisted ESD No. 1 either in helping extinguish the fire or filling in at the stations while all of its engines were on the scene.
The fire comes amid a warning that dry and windy conditions are affecting the area, meaning a fire is more likely to start.

These conditions didn’t contribute to this fire, in particular, but the department said it is important to keep in mind because any fire incident has the possibility to grow rapidly.
