Crews battled a raging fire inside the garage of a Carlsbad townhouse Sunday.
The blaze started just before noon in the 7300 block of Alicante Road in the Colina de La Costa complex.
Flames and black smoke were pouring from the garage when firefighters arrived. Crews extinguished the fire in about 20 minutes, according to North County Dispatch.
No one was injured. Everyone living in the general vicinity was evacuated, one resident told NBC 7.
There is no word yet on how much damage was done. The flames appeared to char everything in the garage, including one vehicle. The fire spread to the garage roof and to a neighbor's garage.
The cause of the fire is now under investigation.
Sunday's fire happened in the same neighborhood where an elderly woman described as a "hoarder" died in a house fire Nov. 25.
