A 3 alarm blaze in Jefferson County, West Virginia, this morning is under investigation. "When units arrived at 828 Sheperdstown Pike, they discovered that a garage behind a home was fully involved with fire. It was so big and it had some manpower problems," said Donnie Dunn, Chief of the Friendship Fire Company, in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The garage, he said, was being used for storage. "It has some cars and tractor trailers inside."

It took firefighters approximately one hour and a half to bring the blaze under control. "That kept crews on the scene for 3 hours," continued Dunn.

Fortunately, there were no injuries.
