The lot is located between Hilltop Lane and Foley Road, which also becomes the Liberty Highway.  Communications officials say the location is closer to the intersection with Hilltop Lane. Liberty Highway is closer to the interstate but authorities say, depending on the weather conditions with rain that started a few hours earlier, it's possible the fire may be visible from Route 17/ Interstate 86 to the South.

By quarter after six in the morning, fire investigators were being called to the scene.

Dispatchers with Emergency Communications reported by 8:30 all the fire units had left the scene.  There was no information available concerning the extent of damage to the property.

Authorities are expected to be looking for a cause of the blaze.

There were no reported injuries to any of the firefighters who responded to the scene.
